Starting point is 00:04:19 Oh, it's fire season. Yeah. Well into fire season. Because I haven't fired up the fire? Yeah, I haven't sparked one yet. No, if it's... This morning's weather leave no doubt. No doubt. What is wrong with me, too?
Starting point is 00:04:33 He's rubbing off on me. Are you all okay? Well, let's just let Blake handle it. Yeah, go. It's the Blake Show. Welcome, everybody. Thank you to Connie Rosso. Yes, thank you. Blake's so good at words. Yeah. That's all I got. All right, so for live streaming, we could actually invite people out here.
Starting point is 00:04:50 Sure. If you're actually tuning in and you're like, man, I got nothing to do today. Maybe you're off. Like, look at 690 Scene over here. Yep. The man of – he could just do what he wants. Does his thing. The kids are off, so maybe you're a teacher.
Starting point is 00:05:06 Like some of the teachers at, I'm assuming they were teachers at Jimmy Nelson's comedy show last night that I will tell you about here in a minute. Okay. I think people are off. Some people are off this week. They got lunch specials, drink specials this afternoon, and pizza. And tater tots. And tater tots.
Starting point is 00:05:23 Is that on the copy? They want you to promote tater tots? It actually is. It actually is. A lunch special, you can get a 10-inch pizza and a salad, or if you're a man like us, tater tots. Instead of the salad? Correct. Not just one tot?
Starting point is 00:05:38 You'll have to find out. Maybe it's a big tot. It could be a massive tot. You can't eat just one, they say. Tater tot? They're just so good, is be a massive tot. You can't eat just one, they say. Tater tot? They're just so good is what I'm saying. You would pop one in and you're like, oh, my gosh, I can't stop here. Well, you're back. I am back.
Starting point is 00:05:55 Thank you for noticing. I don't know how we would start these shows at 11. It's like no matter when we start, I'm running exactly on that time. I'm sorry, bud. I don't know if you're like that. And I woke up so early because I kind of adjusted to East Coast time a little bit. Ooh. So then this morning I woke up at like quarter to five.
Starting point is 00:06:16 Cool. I'm like, all right. Yeah, it was terrible. And so I've been, you know, grinding away. Well, I mean, first we had to do the Wordle. That's still a thing? Oh, it's bigger than ever, my friend. I heard somebody mention Words with Friends over the weekend.
Starting point is 00:06:35 Do people still play that? I don't even really know what it is, but... I think Dan does. Yeah, I do. It's Scrabble. Okay. Are you a Scrabble guy? No. I mean, we played it when I was a kid, but I've never really played any phone game. Why not?
Starting point is 00:06:48 I don't know. I just, it feels like a waste of time to me. But also, I understand there is intellectual value to it. Oh, really? Yeah, you're working on your vocabulary. Oh, okay. I mean, you can call it a game if you want because you're competing with someone. We can sell ourselves a bet.
Starting point is 00:07:04 Yeah, you're not playing bubble pop. There's a difference, I think. Yeah. Well, that's what we'll tell ourselves as we sit there staring at our phone. I mean, that's what you tell yourself when you give the kid ABC mouse. You're like, this is not tablet time. He's learning. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:21 They're not. On today's program, we're kind of all about the Cowboys, but I will give you a report from my weekend in Clemson. I was at Clemson, South Carolina, to help Dabo take down the mighty Citadel. What is the Citadel? I've always assumed it was somehow military-related, but your guess is as good as mine.
Starting point is 00:07:45 Oh, I thought for sure you would know. Like it's some branch of the military. Like it's not West Point. That's Army. That's where Scene went. Yeah. It's not Space Force. Just ask him.
Starting point is 00:07:54 It's not Navy. It's not Space Force. What if Space Force gets a football team? That'd be great. That would be great. That would be great. They'd have to air it out, right? Or would they be like the other – Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:09 Like they can't be like the other service academies? Yeah, Air Force is like a ground and pound. I know. Isn't that weird? Yeah. They'd have to get Kevin Kelly, it feels like. We may be seeing very soon. We will.
Starting point is 00:08:20 Anyway, yeah, I'll give you that report later. The Cowboys had a huge win, a big, big win. Big win. What seemed like a – it's really weird because all last evening I was like, what a game. What a game I watched. It was so fun. And then I conveniently forgot the first three hours I spent on this thing. Like, oh my god.
Starting point is 00:08:47 I have to watch this whole thing because we do a show and we talk about the Cowboys. Why am I doing this? But like I said, woke up. It was so fun. It really wasn't. Well, I watched the second half this morning. So it's 3-3
Starting point is 00:09:03 at half. And I kind of knew the final. Oh, you did? Okay. So I was at third quarter, and then even halfway through the fourth quarter is going. I'm like, boy, I'm interested to see how we choose our own adventure here. Yeah, I was. Because it's 13-9.
Starting point is 00:09:16 I was behind by a few hours because of the landing yesterday on my flight, and I didn't know the score. So it was a nice pleasant surprise and then after the what was it the the missed field goal or no excuse me the missed extra point i had written down okay cowboys win final score and then i went to uh check my fantasy team and i saw the cowboys actually won by another touch so i had to go back and watch like what the hell did they do it's a wild one. Yeah, I knew the final score because I have a little score bug in my living room.
Starting point is 00:09:50 And as I was watching, it was 20-9 with five minutes left, and I saw 34-26 pop up. I was like, how the hell does this happen? Wait, what did you just say about your living room? I got a little thing that shows me scores from around the league. Independent of your television? Yeah, and I can program it. Like I can see the phase of the moon on there if I want.
Starting point is 00:10:08 I can see the weather, precip. Is it like one of those things that normally shows family photos? You can put those on there if you want. You know, because you've seen those. Yeah. I have no idea what he's saying. There's a screen in his living room. Most people would put it.
Starting point is 00:10:24 Like a little tablet size. It would be family photos. But I put scores of what he's saying. There's a screen in his living room. Most people would put – Like a little tablet size. It would be family photos. But I put scores of college football on there. That's really weird, dude. To each his own, I guess. I've never heard of that before. So that game yesterday. What a game.
Starting point is 00:10:39 What a game. We'll get to that, though. We have to do a weekend check first where I will not use my Clemson information. But our weekend check has a sponsor today. It does. And that is Elite Rides DFW. Which makes sense, because you're typically doing events on the weekend. Maybe you're going out.
Starting point is 00:11:02 Maybe you're knocking a couple back. Do that with Elite Rides. EliteRides-DFW.com Tell them you heard about them here on the Dumb Zone. 844-RIDE-DFW and they will give you a nice 15%
Starting point is 00:11:18 off. 15% off your first ride when you use DZ15 on that website. They got options for you. You can take the Tesla, the big decked-out SUV, or the Sprinter van. So it's great for going to games and stuff or concerts or a comedy show perhaps. You know, some people like to do a little drinking on those nights. Remember that?
Starting point is 00:11:42 I do. Quite fondly, actually. Oh, no. But that? I do. Quite fondly, actually. Oh, no. But they will drive you. They'll do the driving for you. It's like a big party. It's awesome. They're great for a prom,
Starting point is 00:11:53 I come to understand, as well. Not for me. I was going to say, I hope you're not checking that out, but yeah, they can help you out. Book for your kids. 844-RIDE-DFW. Yeah, Elite Rides DFW.
Starting point is 00:12:04 They're awesome. Okay. Weekend check. If you want, I'll just go first since I don't really have much. I'm saving my Clemson trip talk. But on the Clemson trip, a lot of the talk, like we went to dinner with my daughter and her boyfriend and just talking to different people. A lot of discussion about the big story in South Carolina is that 43 monkeys escaped from a lab.
Starting point is 00:12:35 I heard about that. I was like, how did Jake not tell me about this on the one third, whatever the news is called these days? Yeah, I failed you. Yeah, monkey news like that. I know. There are 43 monkeys around. I failed you. Yeah. Monkey news like that? I know. There are 43 monkeys around. I had it on the stack and forgot. And apparently they can breed really fast,
Starting point is 00:12:51 so now there's like thousands of monkeys. No, I don't think that's correct. Oh, are you sure? Yeah, I don't think so. It must have been a dream I was having, like hoping, because I just want all of the hills in North Carolina and South Carolina to become full of monkeys. This guy's Planet of the Apes pilled.
Starting point is 00:13:08 Wouldn't it be great? No, it sounds horrible. Oh, man. Unless they form their own football league. Now I'm interested. Kind of an SEC type thing? That could be considered racist, but I'm going to go ahead and move forward. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:13:24 It's just the location. And then I'm going to go ahead and move forward. No, no, no. It's just the location. And then I just wanted to bring this up as well. So driving here today, I decided to go down 114, then I hopped on the bush and up and over. And I get behind this car. Let me show you the license plate. It was a Chevy. it's a big mystery have you seen this i've seen it half a dozen times at least so the license plate i don't know maybe i can show my uh my phone up here it says jay sp Yeah. See somebody else? Gave us the oh yeah?
Starting point is 00:14:08 This one's white. Is it him? I don't know. I feel like it's him. It's not. I can promise you. Like the side window, so I had to speed up and see. Like everybody does probably, and it's kind of tinted,
Starting point is 00:14:20 so I couldn't really tell, but it was a dude. It was a bro, and it could have been Jordan Spieth. You chuck an apple at him? I did throw my apple out previous to that. I was eating an apple on the way and thought. I don't think it's him. I can confirm I've seen the white one and the black one, and I saw the black one the first time at Katy Trail Ice House.
Starting point is 00:14:42 And I was even there for Texas OU, and, you know, he's a Texas guy. So I thought for sure that's him, and I saw two other people get into it who were not major winners in their own right. Okay, I mean, I wouldn't think Jordan Spieth would have a Jordan Spieth, but Chappie has a Chappie. Then both those things make sense. All right. It's not him.
Starting point is 00:15:02 Okay. But it's really weird to not be him him and your name is John Spieth in Dallas and be driving around with that. Well, clearly this guy has people speeding up and looking at him all the time. Yeah. He's an attention guy. What do you got, Blake? For weekend check?
Starting point is 00:15:21 A little too close for comfort Friday night for my liking. Were you listening? No, I looked at the schedule and the box score in the morning. For the first time all year, the Argyle Eagles trailed at the half. Oh, my gosh. But got some things figured out in the locker room at the halftime. Halftime adjustments, you know. And, yeah, came away with a seven-point win.
Starting point is 00:15:42 But it was tight. It was a good Wichita Falls team. Tight as in good? Where are we this weekend? We are playing the rare road game in the playoffs where I think the coaches flipped for home field. Okay. Because I looked around,
Starting point is 00:16:01 and all the fields that they could have played at were taken by bigger schools. So I think they did a coin flip. So Argyle is going to have a tough test up in Prosper as they play Walnut Grove Friday night. Of course. Walnut Grove, a high school that exists. Yes. First year or third year in existence.
Starting point is 00:16:17 But, yeah, they haven't been around for very long. But, yeah, my weekend check was on Saturday. I told Jake this on Friday. We had Thanksgiving on Saturday. I told Jake this on Friday. We had Thanksgiving on Saturday. And as you know, wife works weekends, so I took kid to in-laws Thanksgiving by myself. What are we doing Thursday? Thanksgiving on my side of the family.
Starting point is 00:16:40 He's got it worse than my divorce-riddled family. He's got Saturday, Thursday, Saturday. So her family knows that... It's like Adele made this schedule. Go ahead. Oh, getting at the Cowboys? Yeah, but that didn't land, so keep going. I'll plow through.
Starting point is 00:16:57 I don't even know what's going on here. Computer used to complain about this a lot. Oh. Yeah. So I feel like you have an A set and a B set of grandparents. Okay. I'm going to put it all out there. Everyone knows.
Starting point is 00:17:09 And I think her family is so used to being the B side that they just know they're not getting Thanksgiving. So they will go the Saturday before or the Saturday after. And so her mom's side did Saturday before. Her dad said Saturday after. So this one was in-law Saturday Thanksgiving. So he last week went to a wedding of his wife's friend by himself. No wife. That was my friend.
Starting point is 00:17:32 And this week he goes to his wife's parents Thanksgiving. No wife. I would do neither of those things. Why wouldn't your wife's parents schedule it when she could go? Because they know that they're going to his family. He squatted on Thursday? Yeah. Boy, I bet they'd love him.
Starting point is 00:17:54 That's really weird. Yeah. Just a good family member. Good guy. Good son-in-law. And why don't you just bounce house to house on Thanksgiving? No, because that's a beating. That way it's all done that day.
Starting point is 00:18:10 It is a pain in the ass. That's a beating. I can tell you. Because if you show up to one house and you tell them, oh, I'm not eating. We already had Thanksgiving. That's insulting. You end up, everybody's mad.
Starting point is 00:18:18 Yeah. Because I've always had to do three. This year I only have two Thanksgivings. And that's huge for me. But when you have three, every grandma is upset with you. Are you guys like hosting one or no? No. Every grandma, are you sure you don't want to take a plate?
Starting point is 00:18:32 I'm like, I got a plate already. Yeah. And I got another place to go. That's why you just have to tell them yes and you can throw it away at the garbage station. Yeah. Or gas station, sorry. Yeah, it's just too rushed. The kids are bitching and moaning about having to change scenery.
Starting point is 00:18:47 There's no good option here other than to just withdraw from your family completely. The good note? Enchiladas. Solid. On Saturday. I like that. Eschew the typical Thanksgiving meal. We've done that over the last five to ten years.
Starting point is 00:19:05 Eatsies help you out with that, too, if you want to take a turn. Yeah, they got the turkey, but, yeah, I never get it. So I had a massive weekend. Is that your whole thing? Then just had a squared-away Sunday. Can't beat it. Sheets, car wash, what do we got? Shower. Showered for the first time in a while. That't beat it. Sheets, car wash, what do we got? Shower.
Starting point is 00:19:26 Showered for the first time in a while. That's pretty basic. But, yeah, laundry, Cowboys game. I didn't shower in South Carolina, so I showered when I got home. I'm sorry, what? Even, like, after the airplane? Even after the airplane. You didn't shower for five days?
Starting point is 00:19:42 It was like four. Three. And a flight? What is that? Well, that's why I had to shower right when I got home. And I feel great and I look great right now. I enjoy the hotel shower. I'll make it a bath on you. I generally do. But I didn't.
Starting point is 00:19:58 So Friday night... I can't believe we're letting him get off this easy. I don't know what to say about it anymore. He's disgusting. Friday night, the wife had, many months ago, purchased tickets to a concert at the American Airlines Center. Texas's own, East Texas, probably claims DFW, Big City. Why is Casey Musgraves?
Starting point is 00:20:24 She sold out two nights at the American Airlines Center. And you had to go? I'm a fan. All right. I'm a fan. Name a song. Name one hit. Slow Burn.
Starting point is 00:20:34 Give me a few bars. No, I will not. No, I will not. Sounds like you're a fake fan, but go ahead. I am a fake fan. I like a dozen or so of her songs she's good it's kind of like it's mostly chill stoner-ish country music it's very laid back and she's a big or previously was a big so the songs have that vibe they're relaxed and And she's also a flawless performer
Starting point is 00:21:05 and stunningly beautiful. I must say. So Friday night we went down there. We had dinner with Julie and former Starz video man Kelly Forbes.
Starting point is 00:21:22 Schmoozing with sales. Yeah. Don't ask me if you guys see a sushi charge on the company card. Kelly's the best, man. He's a super, super interesting dude. Big old Canadian boy.
Starting point is 00:21:39 He's a great dude. Then we went to the show. The show was nice. We perfectly timed skipping every opener, which wasn't even really fully intentional because the band opening for is from Dallas, Lord Huron, kind of a fan, but just literally walked in five minutes before she started.
Starting point is 00:21:58 And this is where Reddit and stuff like that comes in very handy because you can find out what songs they're playing and when if they're playing and when, if they're on a tour. Set lists get posted, start time, and that stuff is running on a clock now. It's nice to miss the opening. If you want to, it's not bad.
Starting point is 00:22:19 Kacey Musgrave, very popular. Did you go to just dinner with Julie, or you went to the whole concert with her? No, we just met them for dinner, and then they were going out to do their We Got a Babysitter night. They were on their way to a big night, it appeared. Kacey Musgraves, very popular in Texas, also very popular with the male homosexual, which I didn't totally know. Okay. Very popular.
Starting point is 00:22:40 I knew she had a song kind of about, you know, being yourself and whatever, but I'd never seen so many bedazzled jackets on men before. Okay. And it was awesome. That's probably a good market. Yeah, it's a fun market, I can tell you that. What can we do for that? How can we capture that right here? You could show hog.
Starting point is 00:22:58 Yeah, go for it. I don't know that you could call what I have a hog. You could show piglet. Thank you, Rob. And so it's Thanksgiving week, so we kind of, as bad parents, looked at this weekend as like, well, it's the start of vacation, and what did we do on vacation when we were
Starting point is 00:23:16 kids? We went to stay at Grandma and Grandpa's. Ah. So they stayed there Friday night. That's great. Kids love it. They do love it. Actually, everybody wins there. And I'll tell you this, too. It's a miniature version of having a divorce and having your kids only every other weekend. Because I was locked the fuck in on Saturday.
Starting point is 00:23:34 Like, let's do as much kid stuff. Like, I'll do anything you guys want all day. Because you'll be without them. Yeah. You want to ride bikes, go to the park, play soccer. Yeah, let's make an ice cream sundae at 10 a.m. I don't care. You're leaving tomorrow. So let's make an ice cream sundae at 10 a.m. I don't care. You're leaving tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:23:46 So, let's just get it all in. Are they gone for the week? No. Well, no, but I'm just saying they stayed over there Friday night. They stayed over there last night. So, all day, both days, it was, let's party.
Starting point is 00:24:02 We went, we did a little hour and a half trail hike saturday we went and uh i told you guys that sarah heppola is writing an article about uh how i'm a drunk yeah ostensibly to inspire inspire other people to not be anymore and honestly hopefully to promote our show but what that comes with is you go take pictures with a photographer, but not like behind a screen. They just want to catch you naturally. Okay.
Starting point is 00:24:30 So we were going to go to the park anyways, and a guy just met us out there. You and the kids? And the wife. Okay. So is she all getting ready in her hair? Not really. Oh, okay. A little bit, you know, but I was in sweatpants.
Starting point is 00:24:43 Oh, all right. She wasn't really into it, like doing it at all. But if I just said, let's go to the park, it would have been fine. But once I said, someone's going to be there to take pictures, I guess we'll do this for you. Yeah, I got a big hole to dig out of. She could have bailed out of it, but she's thinking. Oh, no, I think it's the female
Starting point is 00:25:05 urge to not bail out of it and then complain at every single step of the way. I see. Yeah. That's sad. That's an itch they have to scratch, but no, she was cool about it. Um, we went to the botanic gardens there in grapevine and did pictures. I witnessed something that I've always been a little bit curious about and I know I do it. I know you don't do it. There were a lot of people there taking pictures. There might have even been a wedding that was about to take place that evening, and they're setting up, and there's a lot of people moving around. Set this up.
Starting point is 00:25:38 Move this over here. And I saw a guy who was probably my age walk out of the little venue they have there. It's next to a parking lot. He started walking towards the parking lot and then kind of took off running. And then once he's about 10 feet from his car, started walking to get something out of his car. And I've always been interested by the decision to just run like that. Like, oh, I left something in my house. And you pull back up to your house and you're like, I'm going to run in there.
Starting point is 00:26:11 Well, you do it if you're with someone to illustrate that I'm not just, you know, lollygagging. Total time saved? Like, even if you're Usain Bolt, five seconds. Not even that, yeah. Yeah, like, and you never even really fully commit to the run. You kind of like move your arms and legs. Right. You just want to show people that you're in a hurry.
Starting point is 00:26:30 But like this event is three hours. Like I'll do that if somebody stops at a – I want to cross the street or something. Yeah. I want to show them, hey, I really care. I picked it up for you. But like it has no effect on how much of a – how much time – you're not James Bond or – it's not Mission Impossible. You're going to pick up two more folding chairs from your car.
Starting point is 00:26:54 Yeah. But you told your mother-in-law, like, I'll run out there. Yeah. And you, unathletic man, takes that literally and does a little Benny Hill run out to your car. What are you doing, dude? It'll be fine. So then last night I went to go
Starting point is 00:27:12 see our friend Jimmy Nelson do comedy in Grapevine. It was at I think they're calling it Third Rail. It's at Harvest Hall in Hotel Venn. It's a food hall and a big venue. It's a big place in Hotel Venn. It's a food hall and a big venue. It's a big place.
Starting point is 00:27:26 It's pretty new. It is pretty new. Five years old or so? Yeah. It's at the train station. It's really, really cool. So we went down there, and I had no idea how this was going to play out.
Starting point is 00:27:40 I didn't know if most people that were there would be there for him. You could buy tickets for a table, which I did, or there's just a bar in there so anybody could walk in. So it's not like a club? No, which is important to know. It's not like the Addison Improv is a – No.
Starting point is 00:27:55 No, you could just walk in like it was a bar, but there was also reserved seating. So a lot of people are there and don't even know there's a comedian i believe when they walked in they were told but they just decided well whatever there's like a holiday themed bar there and there's like i'm just gonna sit here and drink um which is interesting because jimmy has some it's like've told whenever – there's still kids in here. So it's like I've told you guys when I went to go see Nick from, we'll just say, C-Town.
Starting point is 00:28:33 There were a lot of people who had just wandered into that comedy club and were like, what am I doing in here? And Jimmy had a little bit of that last night. Does he work pretty – I mean, you know the hypotheticals. The 90-10. You know he's got jokes about doing fertility treatments. Okay, the 90-10.
Starting point is 00:28:51 If you had to service your buddy, you had to give him pleasure on your knees. I don't think he added that part. You could be, like, laying down on your back. Well, the point is I'm just trying to paint the picture so people understand what I'm saying. Would you rather do the first 90% or the last 10%? Yeah. It's quite a debate. He broke that one out.
Starting point is 00:29:17 Yeah. It's a good one. He also broke out a new one. I'd be using the A stuff as well. Yeah. He broke out a new one that he went to me for in the crowd, which I was not expecting. It's a similar
Starting point is 00:29:29 hypothetical, but you got to take care of 20 inches, how you're breaking it down. What? What do you mean? You know exactly what I mean. Breaking it down. I said, alright, here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to get really fired up in pregame warm-ups.
Starting point is 00:29:49 I'm listening to it. We ready. We ready. We ready. We ready. I'm going to go seven. Then I'm going to take a break. Three is like OTAs, right?
Starting point is 00:30:02 So I got a seven and a three, but now I know I can do the seven. I can push myself 7 and a 3, but now I know I can do the 7. I can push myself harder and go 9, and now I've left myself a little 1-inch treat at the end. What are we talking about going 20 inches? Yeah, you have to service 20. How do you want to break that down? I still don't really get it. Oh, people?
Starting point is 00:30:23 No. You don't service the last Seven You know you gotta get in there You gotta get in there I mean A weaker man would just say like Four times five
Starting point is 00:30:38 Like I don't want anything challenging But I'm a strategist And a gamer I'm still confused. Blake? He gets it. Do you get it? Not really.
Starting point is 00:30:51 Well, everyone else did, including some people who got it. Wait, are you saying there's like 120? If you really want to just work your way down that thing like a piece of corn on the cob. Or is this like a buffet? I can pick whatever I want. Didn't really specify. But there were people who did not, as people in here apparently
Starting point is 00:31:10 and the two of you, did not find that line of thinking entertaining. Okay. Including there was a table of ladies in front of me who they did not have a little placard on their table. So they were sitting in the reserve section, but they did not buy tickets. And they read about, oh, he's a local firefighter.
Starting point is 00:31:30 Let's go support our firefighter. He's trying his hand at stand-up comedy. This will be cute. They were never forgetting. And I could tell this because my wife wanted to eat while we were there, but I'd already eaten. So I went in there by myself and sat down. She didn't want to bring a huge thing of Thai food
Starting point is 00:31:47 into a comedy situation. So when she came and sat down, I'd already been in there for like 20, 30 minutes meeting listeners, of which it was easily half the crowd. How many drinks did you buy? Nobody would take me up on it. Three. Oh, come on.
Starting point is 00:32:02 You were offering to buy people drinks? One drink for every listener who asked. And Jimmy made sure to mention that again on it. Three. Oh, come on. You were offering to buy people drinks? One drink for every listener who asked. And Jimmy made sure to mention that again on stage. Okay. I bought three beers. You just wanted that feeling of buying a beer again? Well, I just left my tab open and told them. But
Starting point is 00:32:17 it turns out that wasn't the fun part. My wife sat down and I'm like, man, these three ladies in front of us here, they're kind of fucking beating. And she did what she does, and she's like, why are you like this? She's like, they're fine. They're just having a good time, I'm sure. The first word she said when we walked in.
Starting point is 00:32:35 God, man, there's a kid over there. And this is the first word that she said whenever we walked out of the comedy club. She's like, that lady was a cunt. I was like, I told you. Can I get validation and vindication on this? At first, she's like, that lady was a cunt. I was like, I told you. Okay, so you're just saying. Can I get validation and vindication on this? At first, she'll be against you. Of always.
Starting point is 00:32:49 And assume that somebody else is. And she followed that line with, man, I hate women. I was like, look, I told you. Most women do. Every single thing he said that was slightly off color, she just had this look around. Oh, my God. He used the word gay.
Starting point is 00:33:07 And she's like, oh, I've never in my life. He did a slight Chinese accent. It's like, just get up and leave if you want. Yeah. He started doing some religion jokes. Like, hey, I grew up in the church. I went to Sunday school. And here's something I found kind of funny about that.
Starting point is 00:33:21 They weren't having that to the point of going thumbs down. Oh, no. Yeah, he hit him with a thumbs down. It's like, okay, lady, just go. Just leave. He also had to deal with a very loud, very drunk table that would not let him finish the show. He was clearly heading towards the end, setting up the last joke, the ender
Starting point is 00:33:46 and this lady was just yelling the whole time. The whole time. And he's like, finally he's like, you can leave, I'm going to finish this joke. Then he had to go over to him afterward and try to smooth it over but that's a tough job.
Starting point is 00:34:01 But he was great. It was full, it was packed, completely packed, there were tons of listeners there. It was a great time. He killed it. Nice. Yeah, he makes 45 minutes look effortless. It is effortless. Blake wants to go up and give it a try.
Starting point is 00:34:17 We may offer him that opportunity. I'm ready. Oh, my God. You're such a fraud. I love it. You're such a fraud. I love it. You're such a fraud. But yeah, just get up and leave a comedy show if you don't like it. We don't need your ostentatious thumbs down.
Starting point is 00:34:37 Bitch. And then did you do flag football yesterday? Oh, yeah, how'd we do? I forgot to tell you guys about that. It was playoffs. It was. And we were not the one seed because they lost two games while I was away. Coincidence?
Starting point is 00:34:53 But they lost both those games like down a man. Not just had no subs. They were playing without eight people. And the first team we played was one of those teams that beat them. They were very good. and we prevailed. Hard-fought game, we prevailed. But because we were the two seed, we had to play back-to-back games. Uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:35:14 So like five minutes in between. They didn't get it done, Dan. Sounds like an excuse being set up. We lost. We lost in the final to the God Squad. Mercy rule? Yeah. That's your biggest rival.
Starting point is 00:35:27 Didn't they combine forces with somebody? Yeah, and they've mostly shed the guys who would wear their Mercy Culture God Squad T-shirt and talk copious amounts of shit. So they're really kind of just a group of normal dudes now who are really athletic. They're hard to hate now. We had a very long pregame prayer. Very long. So long that I was happy because their quarterback was out of breath.
Starting point is 00:35:52 He was fired up. And they'd had an hour off. So we went to overtime and lost. Very, very critical game management error. I'll try to run through this. The halves are 20 minutes long, right? But after 18 minutes have passed and there's two minutes left, they kill the clock because they don't want a college kid
Starting point is 00:36:14 trying to stop and start it like they're an actual official. Yeah. So they just go to seven plays, thinking that's about what two minutes would be. So no matter what happens, seven plays are happening right at that point. You with me? Yeah. So –
Starting point is 00:36:32 It was only the 20-inch hypothetical that threw us off. Right, right, right. It's 20 inches of dick. I thought everybody understood what I meant. We understand football. What do you do at the end of it to please that part? It could be separate. So we had the ball tied 14-14. It was scoreless at half, very rare in this league.
Starting point is 00:36:55 And we're driving, and now we have play one, 20 yards to score, first down. And on that play, our quarterback breaks free for a scramble, could score, steps out of bounds at the one, with the thinking, we don't want to score right here and leave them six plays to try to come back and tie the game, potentially go for two and win. He steps out of bounds on play one. He takes a sack on play two.
Starting point is 00:37:28 Oh, no. Incomplete on play three and four. So we're at the one-yard line, and he could have gone in. And instead, they get the ball back. They don't score, but now we're in overtime. They get four plays to score. They do. We get four. So it was the old, I don't want to leave too much time on the clock type thing. Yeah, but now we're in overtime. They get four plays to score. They do. We get four.
Starting point is 00:37:45 So it was the old I don't want to leave too much time on the clock type thing. Yeah, but again, it was 0-0 at half. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And 14-14 at that point, I'm like, are we sure we want to do this? And that's how we lost. But you don't get vocal like that. No, I'm a team player. And I also – maybe this is a problem with not being hungover or being like,
Starting point is 00:38:08 I'm really fired up right now and I'm going to go get a beer. I kind of didn't care. I was like, boy, I really got some exercise in today. Had fun with the boys. Everyone had a good time. That was it. Who is this new Jake? I know.
Starting point is 00:38:23 Gay. Domesticated gay Jake. Yeah. But he knows how to attack 20. Oh. Yeah. No doubt. Is he going to hang it up?
Starting point is 00:38:39 No. Oh, yeah. I like that. You've already announced you're back for another year? We're taking off the, like, December, January one. But I'm going to play. You're back. Yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:38:51 Okay. I know every year we ask at the beginning of the year, and you never have an answer. Not now. I'm in good shape. This is the time. Sports Today is brought to us by Takovas. I was on the Takovas website just the other day, takovas.com,
Starting point is 00:39:04 because, spoiler, if my stepdad hears this, I'm buying you a pair of boots. That's a good idea. They're fantastic.

I promise you, you'll find what you're looking for with Tecovus and Tecovus boots. Well, that was weird yesterday. I don't really know how to describe what I watched. It was both horribly played, boring,
Starting point is 00:40:11 and I described it in my column this morning. It felt like a 9.30 Friday night college game. Like where the teams are so bad and inexperienced and disorganized. I thought it felt like a noon Sunday football game with the Fox team seven, and I was surprised that we at least got third leg Greg. Yeah. Because I think third leg Greg is good. Get over it.
Starting point is 00:40:42 I was talking to Blake about this this morning. He's good. Yeah, he's better now. I think when you get him away from Brohard, he's better. He's not trying to bro down. He's just actually, like, giving you football stuff. I think he's good. I just think his problem is Tom Brady's already awesome.
Starting point is 00:40:57 So the Cowboys are 4-7 now. Giants Thursday in disarray. The four-win Bengals the following Monday at home. What are you doing? Tough to – just – He's playing in our playoff game stream. Follow along here. Now we're 6-7.
Starting point is 00:41:21 Uh-huh. At Carolina. Covered. How easy is that? Now you're a 500 team with three to play. Tampa. Have you looked at the standings? Like the rest of the teams?
Starting point is 00:41:39 The NFC North. You're at Philly. Who knows? They might have locked everything up by then. Doubtful. And then Washington at home to end the season. Could be for the playoffs. Let's take a look at the NFC playoff picture.
Starting point is 00:41:54 It's not favorable to Dallas. So you're saying they could possibly win out? I'm saying they win the next three. The fucking worst. And then let's take two of the next three after that, and what is your record? Ten? That's ten wins?
Starting point is 00:42:12 No, they would have to win out to get to ten wins. Okay, nine wins. Nine's pretty good. Yeah, but. Nine and eight? The Packers already have eight wins, and they're third in the North. Well, let's take a look at that NFC playoff picture. So when you look at... I can tell you what the New York Times athletic playoff predictor had it at this morning. Less than 1%. You still follow the New York Times?
Starting point is 00:42:38 It's the athletic. I don't... So there are seven teams now in the playoffs, don't forget. So you got your four division winners. Let's say you get three from the north. Okay, so there's two wild cards. And you need one more wild card. Yeah, correct. Why not the Dallas Cowboys? I'd like to look at it faster if my internet would get faster.
Starting point is 00:43:03 Well, the commanders are seven and five. And in a tailspin. Yeah. I suppose you're right. Like, what do you think they're saying today in Washington? Fire Cliff.
Starting point is 00:43:17 Oh, my God. They're fine. Cliff and his annual second half swoon. We talked about it at the beginning of the season. What if it's not Kyler in Call of Duty? What if it's Cliff playing Call of Duty?
Starting point is 00:43:30 It's possible. Because Kyler's actually been good since Call of Duty came out this year. Cliff has been bad. Cliff looked so Cliff. He looked about as Cliff Kingsbury as I've ever seen him looking yesterday. Sexy as hell? Yeah. Sunglasses.
Starting point is 00:43:46 The shaved side of the head and the sunglasses and just not a care in the world. Just loving life. I'd still take him here. Well, you might have that chance. But, yeah, I mean, these other teams. All right, let's just say they kind of, they do win nine games or whatever. And they don't make the playoffs. Does that lock up McCarthy?
Starting point is 00:44:10 No. You sure? I might. Because what has been, we've been lacking fight. And that's the kind of game Jerry wanted to see yesterday. At least show me that you can play NFL football and fight. Like even before the craziness at the end. Because, look, they won by luck.
Starting point is 00:44:28 They won because of the freak touchdown, kickoff return, and missed extra point. I disagree with that. They got lucky, but they also played better overall than Washington. That's what I mean, though. That's what they won by luck, but they were in that game. They were just like. Yeah, I mean, they ran the ball well on first down, and that was a dominant defensive performance.
Starting point is 00:44:51 Dominant. Really amazing. After you read, like, Zach Martin and Trayvon Diggs didn't even make the trip. No, and you were also down Tyler Smith as of game time. Tyler Smith was out. Of course, Demarcus Lawrence and Dak are already on injury reserve or whatever they call it now. Blaine came back, but that's game one. You have no clue what you're going to get out of him.
Starting point is 00:45:15 He played a lot, but who knows. I'm sorry, did you say Zach Martin? Yeah. Okay. He led with it. Yeah, no, I'm just saying once you heard all that, you were definitely thinking that Washington likely covers. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:34 Let alone the Cowboys actually winning. Yeah, but what happened was it looked remarkably similar to the games where Cooper Rush won in 2022, where they had a dominant defense and they could run the ball. And if you give him that, he's just okay. He's not Gardner Minshew. He's not Mariota or hell, even good Flacco or Jameis, but he's fine. That's what they did. But no, they're not keeping McCarthy unless they're in the playoffs. They're not keeping McCarthy unless they're in the playoffs. Now, if they did go 9-8, get into the playoffs, and win a game,
Starting point is 00:46:11 un-effing fortunately I could probably see it. But you're still moving on from Mike Zimmer, I would think. Well, hell, maybe not. I don't know. Up until this ridiculous scenario you've proposed, I have not considered a world where Mike McCarthy is the head coach next year. At all. They're a bad football team. Here, I got a better one for you.
Starting point is 00:46:37 Mike has said on his podcast they're a damn good football team. He reiterated that yesterday. If Dak were healthy starting Thursday for the rest of the year, is there a single game that they would be favored in for the rest of the way that they're not already going to be favored in with Cooper Rush?
Starting point is 00:46:58 The answer is no. Yeah, no, they weren't good with Dak. They were not good with Dak. And that probably tells you a little bit about how good Dak is and whether Dak is worthy of the highest paid player in the NFL, which he's not. Cost of doing business. Which is ridiculous, and it's a ridiculous way to do business, I think. Second in MVP voting last year, had a contract coming up.
Starting point is 00:47:24 You just got to do it. Now, what you don't have to do also is go acquire Trey Lance for a fourth-round pick. And again on Friday, Stephen Jones was asked about it. Said, I don't regret it. We didn't know if we were going to sign Dak. Boy, they're dying on that hill, aren't they? Good God. How did you not know we were going to re-sign Dak
Starting point is 00:47:44 and then end up signing him to the biggest – why not just do that in the beginning? How do these people have so much money? Do that in the beginning. I could have figured that out. And I'm in debt. Like if at the end you were going to give the biggest contract ever, you could have done it at the beginning.
Starting point is 00:47:58 I bet the biggest contract ever wasn't as big. As big. Yeah. You know, when they did it. But speaking of Trey Lance, the one thing they are right about, Cooper Rush does give them the best chance to win. There's no chance Trey Lance could have pulled that off yesterday. None.
Starting point is 00:48:17 I mean, based on anything we've seen, I would say that's true. But they also had a pretty basic game. You know, it wasn't like he was – No, he was efficient. He was efficient. They didn't really try to air it out at all. When they did, it seems like good things kind of happened. You get a – like he underthrew a couple of deep balls.
Starting point is 00:48:38 Yeah. Significantly got really lucky. Yeah. Yeah, that CD lamb crosser. Got the pass interference on the one. They highlighted it on the highlight where Lamb cut back across the field and, like, run in front of two defenders. That ball was going to be picked. I'm not saying Cooper Rush is great or even good as a backup.
Starting point is 00:48:56 I just think Trey Lance probably belongs. We got a little taste. Trey Lance probably belongs with God Squad. Got a taste. Boy, he'd be so good, wouldn't he? He'd be a very good flag football quarterback. Hey, the Olympics are only a couple years away. Got a little taste.
Starting point is 00:49:13 All right, let's talk about the Trey Lance package. What a disaster. What are they doing? I don't know. So it's first and goal at the one. Let's bring in Trey Lance. I think what you do there is actually pass. Because what does everybody think they're doing?
Starting point is 00:49:31 Exactly what they did. Well, they're going to do some kind of a read option or something with Trey Lance running because that's what he can do, we think, effectively. Of course, he lost three yards on that play. Had no shot. Cooper Rush right back in. And over here just waiting for his turn is the guy
Starting point is 00:49:50 that I was told is an elite short yardage back. Hunter Lipke? No. Zeke, who had a third and one carry yesterday where he was stuffed behind the line of scrimmage with 12 defenders on the field. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:50:06 Did they have 12 on that play? No, it was a defensive holding. There was a Washington penalty. Offensive holding. No, it was offense. There you go. That's what I'm trying to say. They had a hold, and he got stuffed. Despite the fact that they held one of the defenders back
Starting point is 00:50:20 and wasn't able to get to him, he still couldn't get. That's right. It was less than a yard, dude. It was like a half a yard. Yeah. One of his three carries on the day. What a disaster. Yeah, why is he even on the roster? You know, he's got ten carries
Starting point is 00:50:36 in the last four games. So at least they're getting the message, but no, I don't know. They have no real explosiveness on offense even when they had Dak. All right, so in the first half, or I should say first quarters, I'm writing notes. Let's see.
Starting point is 00:50:54 Washington misses another field goal, and then the teams are one for four in field goals thus far. Did we miss a couple? I didn't see that. Well, should you give Brandon Aubrey a miss on a block? We asked him about it, and the one from earlier this year he said was his fault. That one I don't feel like it was.
Starting point is 00:51:14 Like, do you give – does Brian Anger get worse punt average if he gets a punt blocked? That I don't know. I was hoping you'd say no. The blocked one was not his fault. The miss, I'm going to have a tough time alibying for that one. McCarthy had what's going on
Starting point is 00:51:35 face. We've seen that so much this year. You're the head coach. Why don't you know what's going on? Yeah. But I also did think Brandon Aubrey did hit one off the upright, and he's done that earlier this year, didn't he? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:52 You think that should count for half? One point. One point, okay. Like, that's really hard to do. Give it to him. Maybe you should give him five points because it's impossible to do. That would be an interesting rule change. Were you watching Brandon on the field goal block?
Starting point is 00:52:07 Like, did you rewind it 100 times just to see? Because Brian Anger just got trucked. Yeah. I was like, oh, no. Aubrey got his licks in there. Like, just in real time, I thought it was Aubrey. I was like, oh, no. He just got hammered.
Starting point is 00:52:22 And no, but he got a little bump right at the end. He's like, yeah, I'm a football player. Yeah. I'm pissed. And then during that first quarter, though, things are going nowhere. It's just the worst game you've ever seen. I'm selling all my Jaden Daniels stock. I'm writing the note.
Starting point is 00:52:43 Why not sign Daniel Jones for the minimum? Because he wants to play for a playoff team. Play? Oh, okay. His agent says, oh, he wants to. Oh, okay, I'm sure lots of playoff teams are going to be fired up to go add Daniel Jones. Well, they will.
Starting point is 00:53:01 Why? Because they want a backup quarterback if they're already this far along. I saw the favorites are Baltimore and Minnesota. Yeah, there you go. All right. So, dude, I mean, he would immediately become the best backup in the league, which is funny because – Which is probably his future.
Starting point is 00:53:20 Yeah. But I just thought it would be cool against the Giants to have him and start against the Giants. That would be awesome. It would be very funny. The whole thing is very funny. What if, I mean, we're a bubble playoff team. Okay, do you want to just go back up in Minnesota,
Starting point is 00:53:34 or do you want to start here in Dallas for the next seven games? Let's go. What are you – what's gotten into you? I'm just saying. This is so weird. Don't you think that'd be fun? He's seeing Belichick float away with a win, and now he wants to grab on to something else, which is Daniel Jones.
Starting point is 00:53:52 Well, Belichick's probably going right to New York, dude. Yeah. They fired everybody yesterday. And they'll – which we predicted in the summer. Yeah. In the summer. We said these two guys will be gone, you know, but let's trace it back to actually when they locked up Daniel Jones.
Starting point is 00:54:07 Yeah. Like you knew it right then. You could have bought yourself a couple more years by not locking up Daniel Jones, probably keeping Barkley because he's a fan favorite, blah, blah, blah. I don't know if this is actually true or not, and somebody better prepared would have done the research, but I believe it is the case that every time the Giants lose, including yesterday, Shador Sanders posts the phrase,
Starting point is 00:54:32 God is great. I saw that same thing about the Raiders. Then it's probably fake. Well, they all lose a lot. Right. And he probably posts that like every week. I just know that, you know, the talk of him ending up in Cleveland or Jacksonville,
Starting point is 00:54:48 Deion's been very clear that he's not going somewhere he doesn't want to play. I mean, this is – last week was pretty heavy on the, you know, Deion to Dallas talk out there. That's not going to go away because they're going to fire McCarthy and then it's going to be... They're just going to let his contract run out. Okay, sorry. I'm just going to tell you exactly what's
Starting point is 00:55:11 going to happen from February to April. The entire sports news cycle will be dominated by Deion Sanders. Entire. Because his son is going to be the first quarterback taken and he is going to be acting as his representative like Archie Manning style and his second son above Shiloh and Deion Jr.
Starting point is 00:55:38 Travis Hunter is going to be the second or third player taken in the draft. And he's Dion. The whole draft cycle. And also, does he want an NFL job? How does that figure into this? It's going to be all prime all the time for a couple months. What humble beginnings at prime prep with Brett Shipp. I know Cooper Rush. I know overall people are saying, hey, he played pretty well. But, man, I'm just looking at notes throughout the game.
Starting point is 00:56:11 Got two of his screen passes blocked in three plays. And that's kind of what he throws. That's his main throw is a screen pass. Seemed to have a read option where he picked up five yards. What the hell was that? That's what you save for the goal line if you never do it.
Starting point is 00:56:33 Yeah. You use this analogy a lot, but him riding the running back, pulling it, and then heading towards the edge is exactly what you say about your cat getting out. He was like, holy shit, where am I? What do I do now? Like there's no step two in the cat's plan.
Starting point is 00:56:48 I am headed to the line of scrimmage with the ball in my hand. The cat will sit for eight hours a day near the back door. As you open it, you kind of keep your foot there and like, no, I can't get out. But it's waiting. And then one day it actually gets out. And then you just walk out to the porch and pick it up. It's like, I've never been here.
Starting point is 00:57:10 It doesn't have step two to the plan. So it's not planned. Didn't he slide? Yes, then he slid. He's like, oh, my God. I'm in the open field. What do I do? Speak in the open field.
Starting point is 00:57:24 Turpin. Do you hate seeing Turpin do this stuff? And you're like, yeah, the coaching staff has known about this guy all along. And I might have even heard our guys, Sod and KT and Machoda on their podcast, mention, you know, why have they always used him? They'll run him downfield and throw it 50 yards to him. If he's four feet tall. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:57:51 But how about getting it to him like they did last week when you see something like that? Try to get it to him somewhere in open space. Yeah, it feels very generic fan take, but it's one I agree with. He's the fastest guy in the league. You can't find a way to get him running across the field three, four times a game. What do you have to lose? I can tell you, you're not going to get much out of Jonathan Mingo.
Starting point is 00:58:13 Damn. That guy. They gave him 81 too. Yeah, it's just. I don't see. Why are you upset about that? Just a cool number? T.O. wore that.
Starting point is 00:58:23 That's a cool wide receiver number. Legendary Dallas Cowboy and Ring of Honor member T.O. You made it look cool. Put up some numbers. The worst part about when they talk about Mingo is, I mean, he clearly is not good. And the worst part is not when they say, well, they gave up a fourth-round pick for him. It's when they're like, they were super high on this guy coming out of the draft. And he's like the worst receiver in the league in Carolina.
Starting point is 00:58:48 Yeah, that's the thing. Yeah, well, maybe you should just learn from your mistake. Yeah, you don't have to evaluate just from five. He has a new evaluation. Not good. Yeah, I'm just looking at, let's see. He had an interception called back for pass interference,
Starting point is 00:59:07 but it was a horrible throw. It was also a pretty blatant P.I. The 45-yard pass to Jalen Brooks was severely underthrown. Thought he kind of got lucky on that one. And then Tolbert opened at the goal line,
Starting point is 00:59:24 rush again, underthrew him, but they got a pass interference there. Maybe it was about the four-yard line. And I think the lesson that I noted was that you don't have to throw behind the line of scrimmage all the time. You can throw down the field. And things can happen. But I suppose if you do that, it also increases the opportunity
Starting point is 00:59:44 for a potential interception, which Cooper Rush wants to avoid. So they're very risk avoidance with Cooper Rush. Yeah. Yeah, you might even say they've done that with Dak. Yeah, probably. But, you know, he got the job done. Schoonmaker made a couple plays.
Starting point is 01:00:03 If you're grasping for stuff to look at for next year. Spanford. Chrysler Spanford. Yeah. Schoonmaker might be your tight end of the future. I don't know. Overshawn played well again. Trey Lance came in again
Starting point is 01:00:22 and handed the ball off to Seedy. They'll do that on you. And that was all of the Trey Lance came in again and handed the ball off to Seedy. They'll do that on you. And that was all of the Trey Lance we saw. Two Trey Lance plays. The package. It's not much of a package. What's going on here? It's not much of a package.
Starting point is 01:00:37 What are we doing? They don't know, so how are we supposed to know? You know, they are what they are. I can't believe you're actually talking about this. I know you're mostly kidding, but you sound like you're Micah. Like, we're not done yet. I mean, weirder things have happened. Look, I didn't think they'd win this game.
Starting point is 01:01:00 And the fact that they – you're right, though. It's so many weird anomaly things happened. Yeah. This was kind of the game that I've been – you know, when we picked them to cover against the Eagles or something, you're like, well, you know, it's a division game, and things happen, and you never can tell. That's what this game felt like.
Starting point is 01:01:18 You just don't know. It was a division game. Micah, I think we've had questions about what we think of his leadership. Like if you actually call him a team leader. I don't think we can. What did you think about the time and really good job. Again, Greg Olson, he's solid, man. On the Daniels touchdown.
Starting point is 01:01:43 Yeah, it was the thing where Wanya Thomas didn't set the edge. They kind of showed that. And Jayden Daniels just ran it in. And Micah was pretty demonstrative, like showing the world, this isn't my fault, it's yours. And he was showing them up on the field a little bit. I didn't know if that's the place for that. I don't know if you even think that matters at all.
Starting point is 01:02:05 I guess you'd prefer it not, but I also just listened to Micah's full post game in the locker room. Did he talk about it? Maybe I'm a sucker, but no. He was very leader-ish in that sense of hey, we're going to keep fighting for the man next to us.
Starting point is 01:02:22 We finally played mostly good, but he was heavily focused on the fourth quarter and what they did give up. I think he's got it in him, but he's not there yet. They really don't have a defensive leader. Was Wanya the one? Yeah, he got that onside kick and ran it in. Bless, man. So, obviously, the play is fall down.
Starting point is 01:02:47 Then the game is over. Yeah. I get it. Dude, it's your only job. You're Juanye Thomas. You're a spare. It might be your only chance to score a touchdown in your NFL career. Probably is.
Starting point is 01:03:05 No, it is. But if you're going to get evaluated by your team or others on whether or not you have a brain in your head and we can trust you on hands team, then listen, I say this as a guy who I wasn't good for much, but throw me out there on that hands team. I'll fall down. I'll fall down.
Starting point is 01:03:28 I'm very good at falling down. I will grab that ball and fall down. That was bad, man. I almost at that point was like, I hope they lose. So I get it on two fronts. I get it from his point of view, like I'm a spare. You get a ball for your grandkid. Right.
Starting point is 01:03:41 Yeah. And I get it on the front of that's what the Dallas Cowboys are. They are individuals looking for individual accomplishments and that's what he was worried about. And highlights. No, yeah, individual. You're right. He got that ball and he's going to go score. And then after the game, he'll say, hey, next time I absolutely will fall down. And he's not going to. Next time he gets one of those, he'll say, hey, next time I absolutely will fall down. And he's not going to. Next time he gets one of those, he won't fall down.
Starting point is 01:04:08 But a really smart play just to run up and grab it ahead of time. I mean, pretty lucky as well because it's got a perfect little bounce for him. But my last note, it's one year, but
Starting point is 01:04:24 boy, I'm not real sold on Tyler Guyton right now as he doesn't know how to line up. They can say it's a point of emphasis. The guy has had an awful year. And he got benched. And then Awesome Richards got hurt, so they had to throw him back out there. You know, it's a bad, bad year, so it's not getting talked about that much. But getting this out of your first-round pick is not encouraging.
Starting point is 01:04:52 It can get better, but it's starting to feel real, the offensive version of Taco Charlton right now. Yeah. Not good. Just because your last year's pick. Or several of them, you know. Late round, first round pick turned out really well. They assumed that that could just happen again.
Starting point is 01:05:11 And, you know, that's part of drafting. You're going to miss. It's largely random. But if you look to the draft in the offseason, they have a lot of problems, and I'm not sure that that isn't still one of them. But it's also, it was a risky pick at the time. Everybody said it.
Starting point is 01:05:27 Which, if you go with the chalk, and it turns out to be wrong, then you're at least in the same boat with everyone else. But people were trying to tell them that is not a first-round guard or tackle. Thought they could beat the system. They were saying that about Guyton? Oh, yeah. That was an overdraft. Because I know the taco thing was criticized at the moment.
Starting point is 01:05:44 But people thought Tyler Smith was a reach. Remember? That's how he ended up going toe-to-toe with Bob, who said he would retire. Boy, a team PR group has never had a player on the phone so quick the day after that first round. But, yeah, Guyton was definitely considered a reach. Guy-eh.
Starting point is 01:06:06 Tyler, Guy-eh. He didn't fix that. I don't... I think that's unfixable. We'll hear that in a moment. And then Austin Eckler getting knocked out on that kickoff return. What's the word on him right now?
Starting point is 01:06:21 He died. He died? So they didn't revive him? I don't know. It's Austin Eckler Field now. I thought it was kind of funny in the sense that things are funny. So Eckler gets hit, and immediately, like, the guy that hit him or even people around him are like, right away they knew. Like, he just fell limp.
Starting point is 01:06:47 And Nick Vigil has the ball. He picked up the ball and he's pleading with the ref. He's the only guy not caring about Austin Eckler. He's like, I recovered this fumble. I recovered this fumble. It was really funny to watch. Look, that's Mamba mentality.
Starting point is 01:07:03 Them special teams guys, that's why. They're individual stats. They need that. That's true. Not a lot of chances. My other note, and like I said, the game ended great, and it was so fun at the end. But it's certainly revisionist history on how good the game was
Starting point is 01:07:21 and what a good job McCarthy – the announcers were trying to convince us that McCarthy was calling a good game. They said that. He's calling a real good game, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And, like, the next sentence they said after the next play ran, all right, Cowboys are now one for eight on third downs. Like, I don't understand how all those things could have been true. Boy, I was really confused by the last possession they had trying to run out the clock
Starting point is 01:07:49 where the first play was Rush kept it to make him run a timeout or burn a timeout. The second one, they ran play action, and then he just took the sack. Well, then why on the third one do you even hand the ball to Dowdle? Just knee the ball. Or just run around for a second and knee the ball. But Dowdle would – I mean, people fumble. Yeah. So it's like commit to one of the things.
Starting point is 01:08:14 Yeah. Which, unsurprisingly, they did. Yeah, the play action was interesting because it did show they had a thought. Yeah. And at least he had the confidence in Cooper Rush to just eat it if you do not have something wide open. And so that was cool. No, as we detailed earlier, on the player profile for Cooper Rush, a, oh, my God, I need to fall down, 99.
Starting point is 01:08:42 So when they called that second down play, he's like down I know what to do here on that one keeper he just did it like in the middle of his run yeah well the Cowboys Tommy DeVito Thursday do you think they're still sticking with him oh yeah they're tanking yeah they're tanking
Starting point is 01:09:00 because otherwise they'd be playing Drew Locke well then is that let's say the Cowboys, you know, don't go on this miraculous run that I was detailing earlier. Are you upset then that they won? No, I mean – A meaningless win. No, because they're bad, but they're not Jacksonville bad.
Starting point is 01:09:19 And they're not Panthers bad. And I don't think they're Browns bad. Well, they may be Browns bad. But they're not going to take a quarterback and they were probably not bad enough to be in the top five. And like 6-11 you know that's kind of not that different to me.
Starting point is 01:09:37 I've moved past that. I mean, what do you expect these professional athletes that live and die by this to actively try to lose this game? No, what they would do is what the Giants are doing and play Lance instead of Rush or not put Bland back out there. Yeah, but if you're throwing Micah out there and all your guys, there's – Well, there's still an argument about Lance just to –
Starting point is 01:09:55 See what you got. That you got rid of a fourth-round pick, and now you're just – what are you going to do with Lance? Although – Well, what if he played well? What are you going to do with Lance? Yeah, none of it makes any sense. That Trey Lance experiment
Starting point is 01:10:08 died the day Dak signed his deal. Yeah, he's not going to give you a hometown discount. For what? So the whole thing was they traded for him to put pressure. But then they found out he has a significant
Starting point is 01:10:24 bag. They're like, actually, San Francisco is right. Because, you know, because Jerry must be getting that. At least McCarthy must be honestly telling him that. Like, he's got nothing. He's terrible. He sucks. We can't play him. And so they're like, okay, well, we lost that trade.
Starting point is 01:10:44 We took a shot, and it was actually to replace Dak. That's what they wanted. They wanted him to show just something, at least beat out Cooper Rush, and then you've shown that you're that good, and then who knows? Then we could actually put pressure on Dak in these contract talks, but Dak sees him every day too. And he's like, yeah, don't worry about it. We're not signing yet.
Starting point is 01:11:08 Yeah. But even if Dak was not signed right now, then, yeah, Trey would be playing and he'd be saying, could we win with this guy in the future? But, you know, you're right. McCarthy heard that from Jerry. Jerry's like, look, publicly me and Stephen are going to say this was no regrets, but we get it, bad idea.
Starting point is 01:11:25 Hold up, though. I'm also going to go get a receiver that everyone in the league thinks is terrible and has given up on for another fourth-round pick in the middle of the season. Amazing when you look at – Hopefully you can make that work. What fourth-round picks are actually getting other teams? Other teams? Way better players. Typically, yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:46 I think Trey Lance just looks small. Okay. Don't you? Like when he's out there. And now I'm transitioning here to Jaden Daniels' talk just a little bit. Yeah. Because he also looks slight. I know he took the league by storm in the beginning of the year.
Starting point is 01:12:05 Got banged up. Got banged up. Got banged up, and you'd have to just – it's the RG3 thing, right? Like his style of play to make him effective is also the same style of play that will probably get him injured year after year. Like would you buy stock in Jaden Daniels right now? Yeah, I mean, I think he's a better passer than RG3. I think he's a little bigger, but he can't run like he was in the first half of the season consistently.
Starting point is 01:12:33 Do it like they did yesterday. You know, there are guys who run. Because he'll sail some balls on you, too. Yeah, he's a rookie, though. Okay. I mean, I would trade my entire roster, the owner, the GM, and the coach for theirs right now. Just, like, the next five years, which one do I want?
Starting point is 01:12:53 I'll take theirs. Okay. Sorry, Micah. Yeah, poor Micah. All right. I feel like it's pizza time. It is pizza time. We're at Cane Rosso.
Starting point is 01:13:07 We're live streaming today. So actually, if you're tuning in and you want to come out to Carrollton, to Cane Rosso, and see us and eat some pizza. Otherwise, just go to Cane Rosso whenever you need some pizza. And there are many, many locations. whenever you need some pizza. And there are many, many locations. Also, you might want to check out the Jay Jarrier episode of Business Wednesday on our website, which is dumbzone.com. Learn business.
Starting point is 01:13:35 Yeah, he owns Cane Rosso. I should put that into context. This is just out of note. Some guy, you should just happen to think of that as well. No, it was very interesting. So, we'll take a break. We'll eat some pizza. If you're watching on the live stream, we'll be a few minutes.
Starting point is 01:13:51 And if you are listening in the car later, we'll be back in very short order. The Dumb Zone. You're listening to The Dumb Zone. Me, me, me, me, me, me. That's what I do to make sure my voice is good. That's how I sound this great. This is Jay Jarrier from Cane Rosso. Everybody, let's hear it for Jay Jarrier.
Starting point is 01:14:23 Yay! Con A. Rosso. Everybody, let's hear it for Jay Jarrier. Yay! I forgot to mention earlier, Jay, and you have the... What do you got going on with the dog rescue thing here? No puppet!
Starting point is 01:14:36 We started a dog rescue, I think probably about six years ago, just as like a little... As we were getting more and more popular on social media we tried to want to do something good and we love dogs and so we started a little rescue group where we started raising money and that kind of snowballed to now we actually have our own rescue center and it's here in Carrollton just on the other side of the highway here and so today we decided that we would bring over some of our adoptable dogs so we're going to rotate dogs
Starting point is 01:15:04 out on the patio today. We have Camila, and we actually have a dog named Dan out there right now. Great name for a dog. He's got one named Danny. There you go. Yeah. So we've got a couple of dogs out there. Certainly, our rescue, it's 501C3, so tax-deductible.
Starting point is 01:15:22 We survive on donations. And, in fact, a portion of every single sale at every single one of our restaurants, whether it's Cane Rosso, Zoli's, Thunderbird, Cow Tipping, goes to support our rescue. So whenever you're eating here, you're helping dogs too. So, I mean, I have six rescue dogs of my own at home, so it's a little crazy. I would take one or two of those ones on the patio if I could, but my wife would for sure kill me. Is six the most you've ever had?
Starting point is 01:15:50 No. I didn't think so. No. I think I've probably had ten at one point with eight being mine and two being Foster's. But, you know, we have a bunch of older dogs now, so my wife is not letting me replenish just yet. But we'll see. We'll see we'll see but yeah no i
Starting point is 01:16:07 appreciate you guys coming out here and we just want to get the word out that uh if you're looking for a fun dog for the holidays even if you just want to take one uh for a couple of weeks just to get them out of our center they would love it so we're uh we're not we're open to uh trial runs cool all right connie rosso and then you don't really have to bring them back because you could just drop them off in the middle of the street. Someone else will. Yeah. We'll pick them up again. Yeah, you can check us out at ConnieRossoRescue on Instagram or ConnieRossoRescue.org on the interwebs.
Starting point is 01:16:38 Good deal, man. Thanks for having us. I appreciate you guys coming out. Thanks. That's a good man. Jay Jarrier. All right. I had a Neapolitan pizza.
Starting point is 01:16:50 Neapolitan, is that what you call it? Margarita. Margarita pizza. What's a Neapolitan? That's the ice cream that's three different. Neapolitan's. Oh, it's wood-fired. Wood-fired ice cream.
Starting point is 01:17:00 Yeah. Okay. One time whenever I first started dating my wife. Thanks, Jay. I thought she was really into Neapolitan ice cream. Yeah. Because all I could remember was there was something she was really into that had multiple flavors mixed into it. And I got it wrong.
Starting point is 01:17:21 It turns out she was into Neapolitan ice cream, and I bought Sherbert. Which was like three neons mixed together. And I was like, who's that deal rush? Same kind of thing, right? Same concept, right, where it's got three mixed together. And I showed up, and she was like, what is that? This is disgusting. And then we got married.
Starting point is 01:17:40 Yeah, how did you overcome that? I don't know. I think you know. Yeah, that 20 you overcome that? I don't know. I think you know. Yeah, that 20-incher. That vanilla ice cream you give her. Jesus, Blake. All right, game audio. It was the B team, the Fox B team.
Starting point is 01:18:03 Joe Davis. Third leg, Greg. The B team, the Fox B team, Joe Davis, third leg Greg, pilled up Pam Oliver. The start of the game we go down to Pam. Joe, Commander's Head Coach Dan Quinn is ready to turn it up, telling us he's ready to hit that gas pedal. Washington is calling it a reset after the mini bye and facing a reeling Dallas Cowboys team who feels like that could cure whatever ails them. Again, she has dentures.
Starting point is 01:18:37 She has fake teeth. Veneers? No, like you could pop them out. Oh, okay. And she was in the, she was in a room before the game with someone else who has faked. She put in the wrong set of fake teeth. They're like too big, and she has to speak over them. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:54 And that is why she has to talk like that. Joe. So I just find that funny too. I guess depending on how the game turns out one of these is going to sound funny that one sounds funny because the Redskins or Washington's ready to turn it up and we're going to really hammer this lowly Cowboys and then you see what happened because I thought this was funny as well at the start of the second half Joe when we spoke to Mike McCarthy earlier he was adamant we're going to go in there and win this game.
Starting point is 01:19:26 When I asked him at the half... So that's what I thought was funny, just because... Why hasn't he been adamant before? Right, why weren't you adamant seven other times this year? Because they're now four and seven. You like this one, I think. This was the one note, and I suppose everybody's going to have this, on Brian Robinson.
Starting point is 01:19:55 Robinson, right? Robinson. Is it Robinson? Robinson. Who am I thinking of? The Texas defensive end. Oh, there you go. Yeah, yeah, good friend of ours, Brian Robinson.
Starting point is 01:20:03 Yeah, so much so that you didn't know his name. I call him B.R. But you did know the one thing that everybody else knows about him. Brian Robinson has overcome so much in a short time in the NFL training camp of his rookie year in an attempted robbery. He was shot twice, had a bullet go through his hip, had a bullet go through his knee. It was a miracle.
Starting point is 01:20:24 He was back on the field less than two months after that. He's had to fight through so much and leaves the game under his own power at least after the first play. Yeah, first play, which didn't help my fantasy team. But so he actually comes back on the field, and they're going to throw it to Pam. Let's check in with Pam. Yeah, Joe, it is some great news for the commanders.
Starting point is 01:20:49 Brian Robinson, he limped back into the locker room a while ago. He got an x-ray. Apparently it was negative. He had been ruled as questionable but upgraded and in there. Unsurprising given the back story that we told you on him. He's battled through so much. He runs with the perspective of somebody who almost lost it all. Thought his career might be finished before it even got started.
Starting point is 01:21:12 Fights through the pain of that early injury. He's got the ball and a first down here. Look at him go, folks. Bullet wounds and all. I just thought it was obviously commendable. Bryan Robinson, he gets shot. He's back in uniform. He's coming out of the tunnel to mini-men.
Starting point is 01:21:31 It was awesome. But to put that on his grit scouting report, like, man, this guy, he's not going to sit out with a little quad straight. You think that's going to stop him? Her ankle, he's going to be right back in there. This guy had a bullet. Yeah. It just seems ridiculous to me. What if he tore his ACO?
Starting point is 01:21:49 Would they be like, oh, maybe the shooting thing was a fluke. This guy's a huge pussy. It's like, no, I don't know. They're going to mention it to tie it to whether he's hurt or not seems silly to me. That's Joe Davis. And, yeah, Pam does sound like she's trying to eat her own mouth. Jay-Z was there. Oh, yeah, Pam does sound like she's trying to eat her own mouth. Jay-Z was there. Oh, I saw that.
Starting point is 01:22:10 Let's come back from break here. A couple legends of this series in attendance. Joe Gibbs, Doug Williams. Jay-Z's here today, too. I just missed him on the field. I literally just got up to the booth, and he came out with his entourage of security shaking hands. I missed him.
Starting point is 01:22:27 A little disappointed. He'd be like our Taylor Swift. I was showing him in the box. I just don't know if the teenage girls are going to be quite as excited. We would be fired up. Oh, I'm fired up. We grew up on him. But my daughter, much more interested in Taylor.
Starting point is 01:22:41 So you're saying it's the place to see and be seen? I think he was going to approach Jay-Z and say, hey, I did a little rapping back in my career. In fact, you influenced me to say, put it in her ear. Yeah, I don't know that much about Michael Rubin, the guy who's at the heart of all this. Do you know who that is, Dan? Producer?
Starting point is 01:23:07 That's Rick. Damn. That's pretty good, though, right? Nah. He's trying. I didn't say sandwich. True. Michael Rubin is the CEO of Fanatics. Thank you, Blake. Took me a sec. Sorry.
Starting point is 01:23:23 Fanatics, who make bad uniforms and bad fan gear. Yeah. And he's like a venture capital guy. Have you ever heard of the White Party? No. Not like the Klan. No. The White Party.
Starting point is 01:23:39 Yeah. So you'll see this. Oh, like Jay-Z wearing all white? Yes. Okay. That is the White Party. Oh, like Jay-Z wearing all white? Yes.
Starting point is 01:23:43 Okay. That is the white party. And I think it's like in the Hamptons, I want to say, in the summer. Where is it? Louisville. I think it's in Louisville. Yeah, as I'm hearing right off the shores of Lake Louisville. But Micah is always there. And somehow Micah has like a Michael Rubin connection.
Starting point is 01:24:03 It's probably through an endorsement deal. But do you remember when Micah was at a Philly or a Sixers game? Yeah. Oh, yeah. And had a Sixers jersey on and people were giving him hell for that because he was like, oh, it's Philadelphia. Yeah, he's been pictured in every team. He was sitting with Michael Rubin then.
Starting point is 01:24:17 Okay. And he's – I've heard him say like, oh, Rubin had me in his seats. So this was Michael Rubin, the rapper Corday jay-z des was there because des is always at the white party nice i'm really confused by michael rubin's existence he kind of has like a django got leonardo's caprio vibe to me i don't know what's going on and my buddy david ruff is convinced that he's a c asset. He's just everywhere. They didn't mention him, Greg Olson, but that's who Jay-Z was there with. Okay.
Starting point is 01:24:51 So you mentioned, like, that makes this the place to see and be seen. They kind of alluded to that about the old stadium. This may exonerate Norm. The RFK Stadium Bill was passed by the old stadium. This may exonerate Norm. The RFK stadium bill was passed by the Senate committee. It's a big hurdle cleared for the commanders, potentially to go back to D.C. where RFK, folks tell us that went to games there was the place to be. The word from Pete Mitchell.
Starting point is 01:25:17 Yes! Because that's exactly what Norm was saying to Pat Summerall, and you used to joke about that. Now it is. I think he's proven to be right. If you could just play in D.C., who might we see? Oh, my God. Is that Geraldine Ferraro?
Starting point is 01:25:34 There you go. Thank you, Rob. Folks tell us that once the games there was the place to be. The word from Pete Macheska, our producer, is that this place was the bomb. That's a good thing. Yeah, I never heard him even say that before. Me and you both didn't know. Was he calling it a bomb or was he saying it was the bomb?
Starting point is 01:25:51 The bomb as in the greatest. The greatest. Which big hurdle cleared for the commanders. Nobody get back to that area. Back into the city. Amazing. They acted like that producer said skibbity. The bomb. What's the bomb?
Starting point is 01:26:08 What is that? If anything, it's so old that you would make fun of someone for saying it. It's still pretty common. Yeah, that was strange. They did the graphic game a little bit. Oh my god, is it Stinney Hoyer? So they had two graphics that I recall.
Starting point is 01:26:30 One was the Cooper Rush graphic. They had, like, the Cooper Rush thing on the – anyway, here it is. Man, he's had a good day. I think we can kind of tie it back to his roots, growing up in Michigan. Actually, two guys down from me. On the other side of Joe, your dad was his P.E. teacher from the same area. What were you, six years older? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:26:49 And you asked Cooper Rush who taught him the game of football. This music is for Cooper Rush. The two Davis boys. They're two of the top guys that he mentions. He said he grew up wanting to be like Joe Davis, and here he is playing quarterback for the Dells. What would you put, like the Carpenters or the Bee Gees? Yeah, no.
Starting point is 01:27:07 My fan call is, here's Lamb. They couldn't get the rights to the sound of paint drying. So they went with that. But the point of that graphic was that they both grew up next to each other? They're in the same town? I disagree with you guys on this. I think that was fine. And I'm going to say Olsen executed it fine
Starting point is 01:27:28 because he kept it kind of straight the whole time. That was fine. No, the point of the graphic was these two humans were born around the same area. That's not a good graphic. If it's a small area, there's nothing wrong with that. I'm more weirded out by Daddy's boy, Joe Davis, having to have his old man as his spotter.
Starting point is 01:27:45 Yeah, he's in the booth with him. What's wrong with you? Yeah. You proud of me, dad? Go give him a kiss? It feels like that's a big nepotism area. Oh, Olsen uses his brother. I was going to say.
Starting point is 01:27:56 Who's got a case spin of his own. Greg Olsen's brother? Yeah, he didn't just rap about it. And then they had a Cowboys running back graphic. What did he do? But they had a roulette wheel. Yeah. And it was all – okay, but then that leads, I thought, into a bad sports point.
Starting point is 01:28:19 You were talking about the running game being nonexistent. Yeah, for some reason they got to spin it, and you hear the ball, and it's like, why? Yeah, I don't know. What does that mean? What does this relate to anything? Because they're playing in Vegas, right? Oh, wait, yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:32 No, we're in Jacksonville, Pat. Being nonexistent for a lot of this year, so they let Tony Pollard go to Tennessee and said, we're going to do this by committee. We're going to piece it together. And they've had stretches where Rico Dowdle's taken over like you said more recently leaning on him as the featured guy a little bit more showing some signs of life but overall second worst in the NFL only the Raiders have run for fewer
Starting point is 01:28:56 yards than Dallas says they only have one 20-yard run and it came from Dak Prescott and the name everyone throws around, every Cowboy fan throws around, is Derrick Henry became available. But, listen, when you're paying your quarterback 60 and they've got to pay Micah Parsons, assuming they pay him in a year or so, 40, there's always so much money to go around that you can't pay for your running back. Oh, did Jerry just talk to you or did you –
Starting point is 01:29:23 Yeah. Like, what are you talking about? Oh, yeah, I mean, you know, how could – if you've got to pay your quarterback top of the market, there's no way you could sign Derrick Henry. I mean, you've got to have a really low-paid quarterback. Right. Like, I don't know, the Ravens. Right, rookie contract Lamar Jackson.
Starting point is 01:29:39 Or maybe if you were going to sign Saquon Barkley, you need a real – again, they have another low-paid – Undrafted free agent rookie, Jalen Hurts. And no receivers you've ever heard of or – Yeah. No. No. The point is they could have easily added him, but they're behind the rest of the NFL all the time,
Starting point is 01:30:00 and they just caught up to the fact, like after giving Dak the extension, that the running back is not as important as they thought. It doesn't mean it's not important at all. Like you have to have a center. You don't want to not, right? You might not want to have to just pay the most in the league for your center, but you have to have one that's kind of good. As we saw a couple of those snaps sail over Cooper Rush's head.
Starting point is 01:30:28 Not a funnier guy I've ever seen try to get a hold of an errant snap. Just the panic in his face. I live for it. Here is... Okay, we found this. That Greg Olson, despite the fact that we like him, good announcer, can't pronounce his T's. No.
Starting point is 01:30:50 And there's really one name that really trips him up. It'll be close. Leans forward to get enough, but there's a flag in the backfield. I think they're going to get Tyler Guyton, the left tackle. Go back to that third down penalty on Tyler Guyton, the left tackle. Go back to that third down penalty on Tyler Guyton. Tyler Guyton came back on as the left tackle for the past few plays. And Awesome Richard back in at left tackle after that last false start by Tyler Guyton. I don't understand it.
Starting point is 01:31:19 Guyton. Guyton. Now he's got Martin and Guyton. That's right. Yeah, we didn't hear a's got Martin and got in. Martin. That's right. Yeah, we didn't hear a lot of Martin because he wasn't there. And I think the only last one I have here is really the anchor word. Yeah. This jumped out at me and only me.
Starting point is 01:31:40 This is probably already on our list, but go ahead. So, Dallas defense, much maligned, 35 points per game during the five-game losing streak. It's a little bit of an opposite. You're saying the word much is always going to be in front of maligned. Yes. I don't know if that counts or not, but, I mean, when's the last time your boss was like, your work, a little maligned?
Starting point is 01:32:04 Just slightly maligned? Slightly a little little maligned. Just slightly maligned? Slightly a little bit maligned. Not much. No, it's always much maligned. I almost always only hear it when it comes to football. Man, this is an economic plan. Much maligned.
Starting point is 01:32:20 Offense and defense. Much maligned. But, yeah. Who do we have Thursday? What's the crew Thursday? Are we getting? Probably TB, right? Okay.
Starting point is 01:32:36 God, it absolutely rules that Tom Brady has to call Cooper Rush v. Tommy DeVito in front of the entire country. That's fantastic. Yep, that's your $40 million a year, Fox. I guess if you want Cooper Rush to look good, have him go up against Tommy DeVito. But you might not want to sleep on Tommy DeVito. Are you sure about that? I'm not sure about that at all.
Starting point is 01:32:57 He's having a tough day yesterday. All right, I'd like to transition now. You can do that. You've got about two more months. Have a little Clemson talk. I was away at Clemson. Do we have time for Clemson talk today? Yeah, why not?
Starting point is 01:33:15 You're in charge. Okay, I'm not in charge. We do need to do this, though. Brought to us by Frankel. That's right, Frankel and Frankel. Personal injury. Oh, I thought it was just brought to us by Frankel. You're saying Frankel and Frankel. Yeah, no, I called. Personal injury. I thought it was just brought to us by Frankl. You're saying Frankl and Frankl.
Starting point is 01:33:26 Yeah, no. I called the other one. I thought there were three of them. Okay. Yeah. Well, Gene Burkett was there too. But a humble man who doesn't have his name in the sign. No, I called him. I called him at 817. That's me. But you could use 214-333- 3333. And I didn't talk to the janitor.
Starting point is 01:33:42 I didn't talk to their Blake. I talked to a partner. Partners have 100 years combined their Blake. I talked to a partner. Partners have 100 years combined experience. They know how to take care of you. So, you know, if you're on your way home and you just had two Cane Rosso pizzas, you're not like, oh, paying great attention. Somebody wrecks into you. Make sure you're okay. And then no matter how messed up your hand is,
Starting point is 01:34:01 you'll probably be able to dial 214-817 and then all threes where you will talk to uh the frankles or gene briquette and they'll take care of you they get you what you deserve it's frankles hey claire did you just get rear-ended by that truck and it wasn't i always forget about cornelius falcon what should i do pick up your phone and start pressing threes you ungrateful monster. Franco and Franco. Alright. So let's talk Clemson. Let's see. Do I have my notes?
Starting point is 01:34:35 Do I gotta look at my phone? What? Oh, time? Yeah. What? No, no. I just wanted to look. Are we running late? No. No, we're like 1.35.
Starting point is 01:34:48 We good. Okay. So, went to Clemson to visit my daughter, my oldest daughter. Actually works for the team, or interns for the team. actually works for the team or interns for the team. And so it was senior night, senior day. And before the game, we got to go out on the field with her and the rest of the staff. All the senior football players certainly lined up as well, but we were like the first ones introduced.
Starting point is 01:35:24 She's part of the nutrition staff. Again, she does mix up some protein shakes for the boys. I don't know what you'd want to say there about that at all. I got nothing.
Starting point is 01:35:40 Just remember, they're not making them for her. She's making them. just remember they're not making them for her she's she's making them so so remember I had a another evil plan and I want to pay off on that as at least because 690 scene was asking me earlier did my key trick work it did work so last week I had mailed my other daughter is in college in New York and she was going to fly home while I was in Clemson and so I mailed her the backup key to our car I parked in whatever C level A and I took a picture of where we parked I sent it to her I had mailed her the key last week so we only had to pay
Starting point is 01:36:27 for one day of parking she got to fly in uh pick up the car come home and then she was right there to pick us up when we landed it was beautiful well executed well executed um my wife is um My wife is... How would you say... How do you politely say a real nag? Politely, though. She wants to leave four hours... We live... You know where we live.
Starting point is 01:36:56 15 minutes from the airport. Yeah. At most. She wants to leave way, way early. And so, as we're getting, like I wouldn't leave early. She's kind of, I could tell she's silently rooting for us to miss the flight because I had lollygagged our way into not leaving three hours early or whatever. So as we're going up and down the rows looking for a parking spot, she's like, we're going to – I'm like, look, it's an hour and 45 minutes away still. We don't have any checked luggage.
Starting point is 01:37:30 We're going to get right on. It's Thanksgiving weekend. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I'm like, it doesn't matter. The TSA pre is going to be – anyway, we made the flight in – we were there. Of course you were. Yes. And you probably weren't condescending when you made it.
Starting point is 01:37:47 Now you get to the gate and're like are you okay you may not remember this but we were talking on friday as you were heading out and you were still at your house and we've been talking for like 15 minutes and i heard i heard uh hon we really gotta go oh you heard her yeah in the background i was like oh this is great. Like it is like four hours from now? Yeah it was a long time. We gotta fix the airplane boarding process. Yeah. And under my
Starting point is 01:38:16 guidance and my administration we will do this. If you vote for me. Number one board from back to front. for sure okay yeah what it doesn't what world are you living in where you think that you should board the first class first and then now we're waiting and even me i'm in seat uh 15 or whatever row 15 and now people are kind of waiting because i'm putting the luggage up so this whole row is waiting behind me um but you would say yeah but Dan you would say um but we can't let all the poor people get on
Starting point is 01:38:53 first and get all their luggage up in the overhead bin before all the uh the uh richer people you know progressively richer as you get to business class and then whatever. Okay. How about this? Charge for – don't charge for checked luggage. Only charge if you bring your luggage onto the plane because no one wants to check their luggage anymore because you don't want to have to wait for your luggage. So don't charge for that. Only charge if you are bringing your luggage on the plane.
Starting point is 01:39:29 Then those poor people in the back, they're not going to bring luggage onto the plane to put up in the overhead bin. There's going to be plenty of room in the overhead bin because you will have paid for it. I don't hate it. Yeah. I mean, it makes it worse for the people with less resources. Keep them down. I like that. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:39:44 This is what I'm trying to do. The way that it's set up that way in my mind has always been so the people who pay for first class or their companies, they don't want to wait around outside the gate. They want to get to those hot nuts and that champagne as quick as they can. But also, they want the show and the parade of having to walk your broke ass past them. They like sitting up there and seeing you with your $5 neck pillow that doesn't even work. Aren't you always wondering, how are they there? Oh, yeah. What do they do?
Starting point is 01:40:18 Every time. Yeah. Every single time. My wife is about to fly first class to China. What? Does she get one of those seats? Yeah. The whole?
Starting point is 01:40:29 Yeah. Yeah, that'll be great. Yeah. The company pays. I mean, first, it's business class, but that's all there is on that sort of international flight. I'm just like, that would be better to me than any trip. Just be on the plane for that long in first class. I would occasionally walk up to the curtain to look back there
Starting point is 01:40:48 and be like, you guys are still poor. And then I would come back and get more nuts. Yeah. But that's why it's that way. The warm nuts. Oh, my God. You ever sit in first class? One time.
Starting point is 01:40:58 One time on our honeymoon, good P1. We used to call him P1N, but then I think he got woke, and now he wants to be called P1Nick or DZNick, our resident physicist. He has so many miles that he just gifted me an upgrade to Hawaii. Nice. Yeah. It's great, isn't it? Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:41:19 The hot towel. Oh, my God. The hot towel, wipe off your hands before you have a drink. It's like, yeah, I wish we could normalize that at my God. The hot towel. Wipe off your hands before you have a drink. It's like, yeah. I wish we could normalize that at my house. I would like a hot towel before I eat in front of the TV. I bet you that you can get something like that in your bathroom pretty easily. Like a box that has moisture.
Starting point is 01:41:40 Someone in here probably has information for you. You can build like a sauna at your house. A moisture box, eh? Yeah, all right. Kind of like a pussy. Whoa! That's not what I was thinking of at all. Can I give you one more wife note?
Starting point is 01:41:56 Please. I think Blake and I are both loving this. Just because, I mean, I've talked to you about this before, Blake. So when I talk to your kid, and I used to do this with my kids, I kind of just talk to them like a human. Yeah. They are human. Well, no, but I think most people.
Starting point is 01:42:15 You talk to them like they're an adult, not a baby. Most people will talk to a two-year-old like a puppy. Yeah, I can't stand that. Oh, Brooks. You have a coloring book. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:42:29 And you have your own iPad. Yeah. Oh, my, you know? And same thing when you get home and you see, you know, oh. The dog. Did you eat your tree? Yeah, you did. Good boy.
Starting point is 01:42:40 You know, whatever. Yeah, I just walk in. I'm like, Carter, what's up, my dude? So I've noted. Nothing matters. Oh, Julie Dobbs joining us now in the middle of my wife's story hi so i've noticed she heard someone defaming women i flew in with my cape she saw the signal in the sky we when we when we landed in clemson we stopped at a grocery store first because she wanted to go get some Bud Light Lime. Okay.
Starting point is 01:43:06 What is this Bud Light Lime cake she's on? We are on the road. And I wanted to get my yogurt because we had a studio apartment thing, whatever. So we had to stock up a little bit. So, you know, we had to stock up a little bit. That's how she talked to the girl with Down syndrome bagging our groceries. Thank you. No, she didn't.
Starting point is 01:43:41 When she gave the, it wasn't just a thanks. Yeah, look at you, little champion. You are capable. So I just thought puppies, babies, and yeah. Downies. Downies? You said it quietly, but we all still heard you. There was a microphone. Well, he was hoping Jake wouldn't yell it back at him, I think.
Starting point is 01:44:03 I didn't want them to hear. That's a tough one. That's a tough one. That's a tough one. People do that. It's like speaking slower to someone who speaks absolutely none of your language. They're not going to get it. Right, louder. Yeah, louder.
Starting point is 01:44:14 Louder, slower. Okay, so now we are going to the game. They're going to play The Citadel. What's The Citadel? Oh, it's very confusing to me. Okay. They're going to play the Citadel. What's the Citadel? Oh, it's very confusing to me. Okay. How do you play a the something? Well, their name is the Citadel.
Starting point is 01:44:31 Yeah. That's the team that Clemson is going to play. And Ava, part of the bit for Senior Day is she got to run down the hill with the team. She got to ride on a bus. Heck yeah. You've seen this on ESPN, right? Oh, yeah. It's great.
Starting point is 01:44:48 The players will arrive on a bus in front of the stadium. Then they touch Howard's Rock. Police escort. They get a police escort, and then they run down the hill. So she got to do that after we got introduced on the field. And watching the player introductions, I thought was interesting. First, they introduced the special teams players, and the holder is senior Clay Sweeney.
Starting point is 01:45:19 Okay. So Davo's kid for four years apparently has been the holder. Wow. So as far as nepotism is concerned, can't make you the long snapper. We can make you the holder. Got to find him something, right? They list him as a wide receiver too.
Starting point is 01:45:37 That's funny. I'd be very interested to know if he, you know, yes, has done anything else or is there a fake in the, in the playbook or is it just you're holding and that is it? Oh, this is funny. Walk on in 2022 continued in the lineage of Sweeney family holders on place kicker inheriting the role from his brother's will.
Starting point is 01:46:03 No. And drew the last place kick held by a non Sweeney was the final extra point on Placekicker, inheriting the role from his brother's Will and Drew. The last place kick held by a non-Sweeney was the final extra point of Clemson's national championship victory against Alabama to end the 2016 season. So we are on year eight of the Sweeney's holding balls. Awesome. and he's holding balls.
Starting point is 01:46:22 Awesome. R.J. Mickens was a Southlake Carroll superstar and was recruited, a big-time recruit. I remember him at the games that my daughter was, you know, playing in the band at halftime because on offense, they would just kind of throw it up, and he would just go grab it. Quinn? I don't know if Quinn played with him or not. Probably, right?
Starting point is 01:46:48 At least – That's a good question. Might have crossed over a little bit. Anyway, he's now a fifth-year senior there. So I don't know if he's headed to the league or not. Usually, if you're really good, you get out before you become a senior. And because of COVID, I think he got an extra year. So they announced their majors and all that when they run down the hill
Starting point is 01:47:12 for senior day. Masters in athletic leadership. Okay. Does that mean he's going to go into coaching? Coaching or, you know, like admin. My wife was pretty impressed just because it said masters. It ain't that hard. Okay.
Starting point is 01:47:28 Because I'm pretty impressed by your masters as well. Yeah. I don't think I could do it. I'm no Jill Biden, but. So the guy, and I wonder if this is on every team. So they introduce all the players players you know numerically seniors so they get to number 69 obviously he's big because that's a lineman number but he's doing so many bits like you
Starting point is 01:47:59 got to know the guy wearing number 69 is probably a bit guy because he asked for number 69. Almost always a white guy. Absolutely a white guy. It looks like his name might be Meat. Yeah. Probably could drink like just drinks out of the keg. Yes, correct. Yeah, he taps it with his hands.
Starting point is 01:48:19 Yeah. And he's got a funny haircut that changes a lot. He was the only guy that was trying to implore the crowd to start, you know, cheering when he got up there. Because it's still, we're 45 minutes before the game when all this is going on. Love that guy. And then he leaned down and kissed Howard's rock. Because no one else was doing that.
Starting point is 01:48:37 Some rub it and everything. But he had to kiss it. He's doing the Hulk Hogan call for the crowd. And then, yes, as he ran down, it was awesome. They did a flyover. So it was Military Appreciation Day, too. As you kick the shit out of a military academy? That's what I'm wondering.
Starting point is 01:48:55 Is the Citadel a military academy? I think it is. You couldn't find out if ISIS had a football team or something? The Citadel was getting 49.5 points, if you want to know if they predicted this to be a big blowout. I think they did not. I think they covered. Okay.
Starting point is 01:49:13 But if halftime was like 35, oh, 34-0 at half, Clemson had 338 yards. But, of course, then you have to see, can their starters beat our third stringers? And apparently – That's when the seniors really get in. That's when the – yes, that's when Clay Sweeney might actually catch a pass, I suppose.
Starting point is 01:49:33 But so they have the flyover, and then the whole stadium is chanting USA, and it was awesome. Like I got caught up in it as well. Sure. I wanted to go bomb somebody. Did you get goosies? Yeah. And I'm not big,
Starting point is 01:49:48 you know, rah, rah, you know, patriotic guy, but when you're there, let's do it. Let's do it.
Starting point is 01:49:55 Yeah. World War, some wars start to make a lot more sense in that moment. We'll just put it like that. But yeah, the whole just going nuts usa usa it's like yeah hell yeah usa um now the citadel again i don't know what military branch we're talking about here i don't think it's it's just a military school. Okay. Unaffiliated. There you go. Well, I, at my current person that I am, was in better shape than at least five players I saw warming up on the field.
Starting point is 01:50:35 Oh, no. Like short, dumpy, like just all kinds of – Those might have been drone guys. All right. Well, they were dressed. Joysticks. They had their uniforms on. They had, like, football pads and everything.
Starting point is 01:50:49 I'm just saying. And, like, maybe you've been involved in this going to Richland High. Like, you ever play a team where you're like, the other team looked like adults? Like, Clemson looked like a pro team, and then there's this little team, and you're like, this shouldn't even happen. They should not play this game. This isn't right.
Starting point is 01:51:09 Yeah, it's like every game I ever played it. Okay. I know exactly what you mean. Yeah, kind of like when Mighty Ducks' team USA had to play Iceland. So we're sitting next to the Citadel family section. Oh, no. And, man, they're all just taking a beating. They're like failed smile.
Starting point is 01:51:31 Like the one good play they had before I left at halftime, the one good play they had was a 60-yard run, and the running back broke free, and he is 10 yards ahead of everyone else. For one second. And he gets chased down by the five-yard line, and he gets chased down, and the defensive back that chased him down just pulled the ball out of his hand and started going the other way.
Starting point is 01:52:01 It was so sad. That's tough. And that whole little cheering section was like, oh. It was like their whole one moment was just that 60-yard run where he didn't even get to the end zone, and he didn't even maintain possession of the ball because he was just this little guy. Yeah, it's underreported.
Starting point is 01:52:20 I certainly witnessed this a lot with my brother. You know, a lot of people, dads in particular, I think are like, man, it'd be cool if my kid ended up playing competitive sports in college. And there are some things about it that are very cool. But there's a pretty good likelihood your son's team, your daughter's team, they're going to suck.
Starting point is 01:52:38 And you're going to have to go watch people who might be able to do this for money beat the brakes off of them. And at some point it becomes not as fun. Yeah. You're all there as parents. Then you start fighting with each other. Your kid sucks worse than mine does.
Starting point is 01:52:54 It's not good. I've learned that cheerleaders, even in the SEC now, are woke. What? I mean, sweatsuits? I guess I mean fat. Oh, see,
Starting point is 01:53:07 this is the worst take you have. Women with some shape on them and you're over here calling them. But all the dudes were hot.
Starting point is 01:53:14 What? Once again, tougher to be a dude in this day and age. Dude, you don't look like that as a woman just by eating.
Starting point is 01:53:21 The dude cheerleaders were hot. I'm telling you, man. They were cut. Women are squatting like Rashawn Slater weight now. All right. I'm just stating this from my point of view.
Starting point is 01:53:33 So the cheerleaders were large? No, listen. He thinks that cultures trend towards like glute workouts and lifting weight, like not being cocaine 80s thin, means that we are now valuing being, quote, fat, as he says. Again, back in my day. So a fit woman is fat. Yes, to him. Okay.
Starting point is 01:53:53 Back in my day, we had anorexia and bulimia. Those were the things of the day. That's more his speed. And that's the way we liked it. And those girls could really flip in the air. That's right. You could throw her up so easily. Make a good flyer.
Starting point is 01:54:09 Okay, so they were recognizing retired military leaders. Every break or every commercial break or whatever, it's about the military. And they're recognizing the retired military leaders. There's many generals and whatnot, and they're all standing in a row on the side at this one point. And they're wearing either actual uniform or fatigues or something like that. But they pan across, and they introduce each one to the crowd, and we cheer for each one. flanking them, also wearing fatigues. No. Or, of course, the guy in the tiger costume wearing number one.
Starting point is 01:54:53 Yep. But then at the end, it was a shorter tiger. He's the cub wearing number one half. Oh. But they're right there with the military guys the military guys, you know, saluting. Guys collected 20 skulls. Yeah, and then you've got the guy in the tiger costume. Dude, I mean, obviously, it makes me think of my nights
Starting point is 01:55:16 at Seats for Soldiers when there's a row of guys who are all missing a limb, you know, from active combat, sustaining casualties. And then here comes Champ, a cartoon horse, saluting the American flag while Lee Greenwood plays. It's like, what are we doing? And then Mavs man does a front flip dunk. Yeah, you're not far off.
Starting point is 01:55:42 I thought Military Appreciation Day has to be so huge for recruiting. Because it looks badass. It looked badass. I'm chanting USA along with everyone. They had across from the stadium, there's like an open field where, I don't know, they do stuff and grow grass. But before the game, they had this huge helicopter. Like a helicopter that could hold four other helicopters.
Starting point is 01:56:05 One of those big, giant transport helicopters or whatever. And kids were going and getting their picture taken on it and stuff. And, I mean, you could just see how awesome. It all seemed like I wanted to sign up. I wanted to join the Army or whatever. Propaganda rocks. Yeah, it was great. And then you're at a game, and they're just going to honor me.
Starting point is 01:56:29 This is great. People will just cheer for me and do whatever. Like, they didn't really have the guy with the no legs up there. Yeah, or like a guy who can't look at a firework without having a seizure. Right, right, right. It's more chill. Oh. I only said my brother really makes fun of that stuff.
Starting point is 01:56:49 That's why I feel, hey, I got a black friend. That's kind of the mode. That's right. You have a Marine brother. Yeah. He makes fun of it all. Oh, yeah. All the pomp and circumstance.
Starting point is 01:56:58 Oh, most of them do. Most people who are in the military definitely make fun of that. A couple other quick notes. They really, on the scoreboard, before the game, during the game, a lot, they highlight the president of the university, but it's always, it's never just this guy. It's the president and first lady. No.
Starting point is 01:57:26 And so, like, before the game, and the first lady's doing all the talking on the video board. Like, hey tigers! And she's wearing like a tiger dress. I've never heard of that ever. Like, I didn't know there was such a thing as a first lady of a college. No, like do they say that about like J.P. Morgan? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:57:41 Like the guy or whoever's president, their wife is the first lady of a merit trade? But during quite a few of the breaks during the game as well, the president and first lady would like to That's ridiculous. They honored the professor of the game, the staff member of the game, the student of the game.
Starting point is 01:57:59 That's ridiculous. But the first lady was the one who read their names. However, it does open up the interesting possibility. What does she do? That you could somehow, as a man, be the biggest cuck of all time and be the first gentleman of a university. That's right.
Starting point is 01:58:13 I wonder if they have that. On a college campus, you might already know this, but maybe it was also because it was military day, so that doubled it up. But the mustache was the biggest player. Huge. Yeah. And it's not ironic, but I kind of like it.
Starting point is 01:58:32 It's kind of awesome. Yeah. The mustache has come back. I used to always make fun of the mustache era. Yeah. Like the 70s was the – how stupid was that? Now it's like, we're here again. No, there was a moment last night when we were watching Jimmy's show
Starting point is 01:58:46 and I'm like, damn, I wish I could try that. But now it just looked like I did it because he did. Yeah, Jimmy has a sweet mustache, man. Very. Like he wears, he pulls it off. It doesn't look like he's doing a bit. It's powerful. But he's a fireman too, so. Yeah, it's based on the crowd of his friends there last
Starting point is 01:59:02 night, they all have it. Which his joke was that they do that so it's harder to pin one of them down in a complaint. He's like, I don't know, it was a big white guy with a mustache. And then TV notes. So once I left the game, had to go home and turn it on. Beat traffic, of course. I mean, traffic in a small town. A college game is...
Starting point is 01:59:29 You would never get out of there. And guess who was announcing the game? So guess who was in the building that I was at? Thom. Oh, wow. Thom is making his way back up. We've worked our way back up to Clemson football. Now, it was just the Citadel.
Starting point is 01:59:47 Still. You're not getting a – Is it ESPN? I don't know. No, it can't be. It's like the WB or something. Yeah, because I remember when he called the Castellanos game opening weekend. And as we were leaving at halftime, my wife got a text from her friend that said,
Starting point is 02:00:04 are you guys in the lower bowl? Because apparently we made TV. Where's the image? So I'm going to have to go find it. I didn't remember until just right now that she got a text. That's huge. That's huge for all of us. Well, then we're going to implore people to go out and find it for us.
Starting point is 02:00:25 So I don't have to do it. Tough task. He's not asking you to do it. Yeah. Well, I know. But anybody. A college football game that's already happened. We've got to go watch it frame by frame and find you.
Starting point is 02:00:35 All right. He was probably the guy. You'll see him. You know it's in the first half. He's wearing a neon yellow beanie with his Clemson jacket. No, in fact. Holding a tiny phone. I bought new shoes.
Starting point is 02:00:45 Oh, we shamed him. We did it. What'd you get? Wow. Some black and white Nikes. Round of applause for Dan's shoes. Nice. You look good. He does. You're all color-coded? Yeah, that's what you wear with any other color.
Starting point is 02:01:02 It'll work. You see what you got there? The night before the game, I bought it. Also, they're not the exact same shoes, but they're very similar to the Heaven's Gate Nikes. Oh, yeah? If you recall, every member of that cult was wearing those almost exact shoes. That's so much better, dude.
Starting point is 02:01:19 My day just improved by not looking down and seeing your Sherbert vomit shoe. Yes. All right. Well, good times. Good times indeed. Today's news will be brought to us by Fair Lease. Fair Lease.
Starting point is 02:01:35 Let me look up my antonyms. Okay. Fairlease.org. Check them out. As we were telling you earlier, this is the way to lease a vehicle if that's your thing, and they have leasing options from $10,000 to $30,000 miles a year, 36 to 60-month terms, and you can do this all pretty much from the comfort of your home. You don't have to go spend a whole day at a dealership.
Starting point is 02:01:57 Don't waste your time off or your weekends doing that. Just go to fairlease.org. Blake? I tried to trade in a car a few months ago, and it was such a beating driving it up there. But Fairlease, you can do it over the phone. You can buy or lease your car over the phone. Do it all on your phone.
Starting point is 02:02:13 That's right. Even sign your documents all right there at the comfort of your home, which is interesting. You might have a very uncomfortable home, but they're not really responsible for that. When you sign your lease, it gets more comfortable, actually. It makes your home more comfortable. Fairlease.org.
Starting point is 02:02:30 Lease a good car, and you can live in it. Way better than biased lease. No, I see there on your list, unlawful lease? No. Not that. It's Fairlease.org. Here's Jay with the Dumb Zone News.
Starting point is 02:02:49 All right. Let's get back here to the News tab. All right. So you were gone for this on Friday, Dan, but we had a shooting in Southlake. That's what I heard, yeah. Yeah. A lot of buzz about that. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:03:02 So it was in the morning. There was a wrong-way crash, like right by the Central Market. A 19-year-old from Colleyville crashes into multiple cars, and as soon as a cop arrives, the suspect pulls a rifle, begins firing at another driver and the officer. There's a surveillance video from one of the stores nearby and how it's a funny video i don't know how to how else to tell you because the guy who's running away looks like a looney tune and it looks like the guy's shooting at his feet like
Starting point is 02:03:37 how would you look if you were running from a guy shooting at you i'm catching them you know super cool i had an interesting scene at the uh i would got my hair cut saturday you look if you were running from a guy shooting at you i'm catching them you know super manly super cool i had an interesting scene at the uh i would got my hair cut saturday and it was during the boys nap so i took the girl with me we had to go to academy do a couple things to our place yes to the barbershop okay they must have must have loved her. And it was popping. Yeah. But there was another family in there. Dad was getting his hair cut. Wife was there. They had two kids that I'm going to say were probably 10 and 8,
Starting point is 02:04:15 two boys, who already look like they have more money than I do. They both had Southlake shirts on. They do have more money than you do. Yeah, yeah. So this topic of this shooting came up. And, you know, you know how it is in there. Once a topic comes up, the ladies are squawking about it, right?
Starting point is 02:04:38 And the mom who's there takes out her phone and was like, oh, there's a video of it. So what does she do? She gets out the video and her kids are like I want to see and I just she's just I'm not really judging whether or not you should let a kid see that nobody gets shot or killed in the video but she's just playing it you can hear like loud rifle round sounds as a fifth and third grader like he's running from the bullets right here my daughter was sitting next to him and they're like did he get killed does he go to jail did
Starting point is 02:05:10 anyone die and she's you know sweet little girl with her little coloring book and i was like nora turn this way yeah and i did it kind of in a way i said i wasn't judging i was i did it kind of in a way that was like if you guys want to be shitty parents, I don't mind. Yeah. But my sweet girl is going to look over here. Because, I mean, it was like, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba. I was like, no.
Starting point is 02:05:32 But see, this is where Carter's prepared for this because he's seen his Lego characters get gassed. That's true. You missed that the other day. And into a fiery crash. Yeah. Chemical assault. Suspect charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Starting point is 02:05:48 Also resisting arrest. This is always a fun tack on. But, yeah, that was a wild morning. Road rage? That's what they say, yeah. There was a lot of speculation. He must be on pills in the barbershop. A lot of that, yeah.
Starting point is 02:06:07 And not a whole lot of leniency proposed from the justice system in there, from the couple guys. They were like, throw away the key. Don't need him. Yeah, I don't know. You probably never did anything wrong. So were you quiet the whole time? You didn't interject?
Starting point is 02:06:22 Like every single time I've had a haircut in the last 32 years yeah yeah i don't just don't say a word no that's why it's important to find a lady or a man who's okay with that yeah just kind of set the scene up front when you sit down like hey i'm not a talker yeah please don't feel like chatting and then there's a time where they'll kind of find out what you do for a job. And I'm like, yeah, I use it all. Yeah. I'm spent on the weekend. I don't have any left.
Starting point is 02:06:51 It's the tank. You got to acclimate. What do you mean? You got to try to fit in. Like talk? Yeah. Why? Do you do that?
Starting point is 02:06:59 Do you get into gossip at the barbershop? Me? Yeah. Oh, yeah. They're talking about throwing away. Yeah, I'll get in there. Like, ain't no room for that around here. You got to fit in.
Starting point is 02:07:09 You could just add the little phrase now and again just to egg them on. I do. Oh, I love hearing it. Is it like a different feeling that comes over you in a barbershop than anywhere else in life that you have to fit in? If I'm on the edge of it, yeah, I love hearing it. Okay. Blake acclimates to wherever he's with. Yeah, but he's just kind of quiet. So it's
Starting point is 02:07:27 interesting to me that in a barber shop, he's like, oh, yeah. Gotta lock him up, man. There is something to the nudge. Then I'll flip on the other side. Like, I don't think anyone should ever go to jail. Yeah. Okay. Doesn't matter. If he's with me. Yeah. Yeah. There is something to the little nudge.
Starting point is 02:07:43 Just kind of a casual. I can't believe they got away with it either. Like vague enough to where. But you're still existing. You're still saying something. Part of the conversation. We had an update. We didn't have this on Friday because it came down during our show. Do you know about the update to your kayak story?
Starting point is 02:07:59 I did see something this weekend, yeah. Yeah, so our boy Borgwart, Ryan Borgwort, 44, the dude in Wisconsin. You hear about this guy? Faked his death to get away from his nagging wife and teenage kids. Yeah. There's so many other ways he could have done that. I don't know. Fakied his death.
Starting point is 02:08:19 That's a little dramatic. Wasn't he our dumb zone man of the week last week? He was. Yeah. You all wish you could do the same? Well, right up until the point. Where he got caught. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:08:31 Yeah. So he went out kayaking on a really deep lake. He had done some extensive planning, including, because he's a good dad, taking out a life insurance policy. See? Okay. That would have paid him and the kids you know half a million dollars they're taking care of texas wife like at 10 p.m like heading in now from the middle of the lake
Starting point is 02:08:51 yeah a little and they found like his you know life jacket and initially they you know couldn't find his body despite extensive searches in this lake and all around the lake so uh they started, you probably remember the particulars better than I do, but eventually they get a hold of his computer after kind of like, hey, maybe we should. Like there was no way, this wasn't like a stream or something where the body could be. They would find the body if he had drowned in that lake. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:09:21 Like they dragged the whole, they're like, this just seems weird, so they started looking into it. And yeah, found his computer, found that he had set up some overseas bank accounts, found correspondence with a lady in a foreign country. A lady in Uzbekistan. Oh. Yeah. They had a little something going?
Starting point is 02:09:40 Found like how to get, like, what was it, search history? It was kind of like a how to fake your own death. How to fake your own death. Yeah, yeah, stuff like that. It's open to the search page. Yeah. Well, no, it was like deleted. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 02:09:51 He sort of tried. Well, the whole thing is we all think that incognito mode is going to mean like no one can ever track that. Yeah. Which just means that maybe your wife won't be able to figure it out. Right. But that's probably the extent of it. Like the cops right away could find out he's been searching all this stuff. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:10:10 So the update is, you know, the authorities, the officials in Wisconsin, were publicly like, just come home. Just come home for your family. Trying to prey on that, yeah. Yeah. But the guy, if you're going to leave your teenage kids, you're not going to. Yeah, you're not now, hey, it's Christmas, Ryan. That was the thing I was going to say is that in my head the guy sounds like Dr. Phil,
Starting point is 02:10:41 but that is what the sheriff said. He's like, what a better way to thank your family than to come home for the holidays. Like, dude, this guy is. Like, you're going to fall for that, too. Oh, yeah. First of all, my family's going to be real fired up to see me. And I'm back. You're probably going to throw me in jail.
Starting point is 02:10:58 Hello, Mr. Policeman. How have you been? You're the only Christmas present I need, Dad. Yeah. This is all good. Thank you. Everybody. Oh, my wife. I bet she Dad. Yeah. This is all good. Thank you.
Starting point is 02:11:06 Oh, my wife. I bet she can't wait to have sex with me. No. She's probably all horny. Yeah. Oh, God. You came back for me. She's just been waiting this whole time. Yeah, he's a war hero.
Starting point is 02:11:18 Looking at my picture. No, the update is that through some digital tracing and detective work they eventually figured out um they eventually figured out a way to contact him and when they tried to contact him based on a way a number that they thought was him a russian woman was answering or a woman speaking russian and they communicated through her and eventually on friday he posted or sent to them and they posted like a three minute proof of life video where he won't tell them where he is but says he's safe and says he ain't coming back so stop looking and really i guess the only thing they could get him on is obstruction of justice that's the only charge i've seen mentioned but if the guy doesn't want to be found
Starting point is 02:12:16 then was there really an investigation warranted in the first place that's being obstructed you're just like i'm leaving the life insurance that's a problemed. You're just like, I'm leaving. The life insurance? That's a problem. But that'll be like a civil thing, right? Yeah, but he never overtly said, hey, I'm dead. He just left and left his license and phone. He tried to fake it to get them the life insurance money. That is what the circumstantial evidence would say, Your Honor.
Starting point is 02:12:43 If he's texting her, hey, I'm heading back in, and he's kayaking, and then he's just in Russia. Yeah, but I think the thing is the life insurance policy, that's just kind of like a solid PR move. He doesn't really give a shit about that. Right. He wanted to be over there in Uzbek's ass. Yeah, and if they bust him on the life insurance thing. He's like, oh, well. Then, yes, but then the future people like me who fake their death will be like,
Starting point is 02:13:10 okay, why better not get a life insurance policy? That's just going to hurt future kids. Think of them. Think of the kids. Yeah, just imagine like you're a kid and this all happens. I can't remember. Do you remember the ages? I mean, I know they're young. Teenagers, I thought, yeah.
Starting point is 02:13:32 Which I understand then. Teenagers are hard. Yeah, but not like leave the country hard. Right, right, right. Well, you haven't had a teenager yet. Talk to us in 10 years. That's fair. I'm here to support Ryan.
Starting point is 02:13:46 I feel like they're not going to be easier if you try to trick them into thinking you're dead. You better pull it off. Yeah, but... Because if not... Yeah, I don't think they're going to... You know, like if your kids are like... Again, this is better than my biological father
Starting point is 02:14:04 who just left us with nothing. At least this guy faked his death and tried to give him 300 grand. Yeah, he did try. Yeah, he's a true hero, actually. Father of the year. Yeah. Tough to argue with. But how terrible, though, to know he's alive if your dad is alive
Starting point is 02:14:22 and wanted to leave so bad that he faked his death. Yeah, if you're the authorities, that's on you for telling the family. Yeah, like, they have to live with that. Like, just keep it with yourself until you can get him back. And if you're the kid,
Starting point is 02:14:34 do you try to go over to Uzbekistan and find him? No. He didn't want to see you. That's going to haunt them for the rest of their lives, though. Yeah, there's going to be a lot of therapy there.
Starting point is 02:14:44 There is. Scary scene at the Potter's House of Dallas yesterday, Dan. You know what that is? No. It's the church that is the place to see and be seen in Dallas. A church to see and be seen? Yeah, it's T.D. Jake's church. Ah, that's like Emmett's guy, right?
Starting point is 02:15:06 Emmett. Yeah, there's tons and tons of athletes. It's a mega church. And like most mega churches, they live stream their Sunday services. Oh, really? Yeah. How do they do numbers? What are their downloads like?
Starting point is 02:15:22 That's not uncommon. They have ads turned on. No, it's not uncommon at all. Although I will tell you that someone told me, I was talking to someone recently about church and that sort of stuff. They're like, yeah, I do Sunday morning virtual every week. Bedside Baptist. And I'm like, I don't know.
Starting point is 02:15:40 I don't feel like the big man really looks at that as 100% going to church. You got to get dressed and drive somewhere. If you're not about to die from the smell of your mom's hairspray in the car, you ain't going to church. Watching those curlers come out. Right. If you don't have to sit there and watch her, quote, visit for an extra hour after the service has ended,
Starting point is 02:16:03 you're not putting in the work. That doesn't count. You're seeing the hymns. Yeah, exactly. About to pass out because I've been leg locked for 25 minutes. None of that. You can't. That doesn't count.
Starting point is 02:16:16 Yeah. It doesn't count. But this one was being live streamed. And I think it was like 90 minutes in. It was a fair piece into the service. Jake, who is 67, had a medical emergency. He sort of froze up and fell to the ground. And they quickly cut the live stream.
Starting point is 02:16:36 And I haven't seen the clip, but in the Fox News story about it, Fox 4 website, it says everybody rushes up to him. And they're saying, get back, get back, give him room. Then they cut the stream. Kind of like the Austin Eckler thing. It's a lot like that. They play the Fox injury bad. No, no, no.
Starting point is 02:16:55 That's not what they do. They do a slow version. The slow version of Open the... What is that song? I want to see you You know all that shit Come on
Starting point is 02:17:09 I wouldn't call it shit Then why are you so afraid to sing it? It's like Open the eyes of my heart, Lord There you go Yeah I know these songs You know the funny part about this whole
Starting point is 02:17:23 T.D. Jakes thing Thank you. Randomly, he's having health events. Maybe he's pretty stressed out because over the last month, he's been heavily linked to P. Diddy. Ooh. Really? Uh-oh.
Starting point is 02:17:36 Darn it. Yeah. He has mentioned in some of the lawsuits. Like how so? He was at the party? He was accused of participating in sex parties with P. Diddy. Whoa. I'm pretty sure that when Cat Williams hilariously pushed the domino
Starting point is 02:17:52 that set this entire thing off about a year ago, he mentioned T.D. Jakes. Wow, okay. Yeah. There's this entire – he focused on famous black people, but it's certainly both. He's like, hey, there's these sex parties. They want you to be a homosexual.
Starting point is 02:18:11 All these guys are having sex with each other. He listed T.D. Jakes. Interesting. Then he collapses on stage. Just saying. Just saying. But it could be because of these
Starting point is 02:18:26 you know horrific unfounded accusations yeah that's probably true you'd probably be pretty stressed out
Starting point is 02:18:35 either way is everyone okay yeah no they gotta beat that dough bro that's how it gets made that's how it gets made alright That's how it gets made. Someone's getting punished.
Starting point is 02:18:47 All right, you know what? That was unfamiliar. There's your news. The Dumb Zone News. Like and subscribe. I want to see you. Not a bad one. I have a couple of birthdays

Starting point is 02:24:27 It's weird. It's really weird, dude. I'm going to segue to that after talking about daughter's name. That's the only time I've ever. This is all too much. The Dumb Zone presents Today in History. So that's not like an anniversary thing for you? I don't even know what you just said.
Starting point is 02:24:49 Monday, November 25th is the day. On this day in 1920, radio station WTAW in College Station broadcast the first play-by-play description of a football game. That's cool.

Starting point is 02:26:25 That's what I thought. That's a legal thing. Yeah, that's a legal thing that you have to do some paperwork and stuff. And then you write who you want to get your kids. So you don't have to have a godparent for your kids to have somewhere to go when you die. That makes sense. The guy that I was told was my godfather. He was my dad's best friend.
Starting point is 02:26:43 And he's otherwise a great dude. He put money back for me when I was a kid that I got when I was 18. He helped me pay for college. It ended up being six or seven grand 18 years later. I also, when I was growing

They're talking about planning something. It's talking about planning a trip, where they want to go, this and that.
Starting point is 02:35:03 I'm like, what are you guys talking about? And I can't remember if Julie or Kelly said, but like, oh, what we're going to do for her 40th. It's next year.

Starting point is 02:35:16 They were having like this deep planning talk about like the four things they want to do for her 40th birthday. And I'm like, I haven't thought about it. So you were judging us that whole time. No, I just realized that's what women do. Because my wife is 37 or something. She probably has something in mind. Well, because some people want to go on a big trip.
Starting point is 02:35:38 And so you kind of have to pre-plan that, right? I thought ladies hate when they turn 40. Don't you want to just ignore that? That's why we all just get hammered. I don't know. So you have to plan something fun. Something to look forward to. Well, why'd you get hammered Friday then? I did
